McAllen Botanical Gardens, Nature preserve and botanical garden in McAllen, Texas.

The McAllen Botanical Gardens encompasses twenty acres of land with three quarters of a mile of trails through native thornscrub vegetation.

The garden site, established in 1962, began its journey as a specialized botanical facility with emphasis on palm collections and plant exhibits.

The gardens function as an educational center where visitors learn about indigenous Texas plants and participate in environmental programs.

Located at 4101 West Business US 83 between Ware and Bentsen Roads, the gardens provide free access and include designated picnic areas.

The grounds contain specific sections dedicated to Sabal mexicana palms, which are native species characteristic of northern American territories.
