Opened in 2000, these gardens are the result of Max and Billie Clark's vision
to create a Texas version of an English garden. What began as an herb and
vegetable garden in 1977 has grown to 35 acres with more than 50 individual
gardens. There are many areas that appeal to all ages, including an English
Channel Garden, a historic tree trail, an All-American Rose Trail Garden and one
of Texas' largest outdoor "G" scale model train exhibits. Open 7:30 a.m.–6 p.m.
Mon.–Sat. and 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Sun. Wheelchair accessible. Cart tours are
available by appointment. Admission charge. Three miles east of Mineral Wells
off U.S. 180, 1.25 miles north to 567 Maddux Road. 940/682-4856. www.clarkgardens.com.
