A little history
The Wildscape was begun in 1994 by the Arlington Conservation Council and the Arlington Organic Garden Club. It honors Molly Hollar (1928–2024), the native-plant advocate who designed and tended it for decades. It is maintained today by Wildscape volunteers with the Native Plant Society of Texas.
