Camille and Rich take a field trip to one of the crown jewels of East Dallas, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. Joining them is Sabina Carr, the Arboretum’s new President and CEO, who stepped into the role just over a year ago and already has big plans in motion.

Sabina shares her journey from SMU to leading botanical institutions across the country, including her historic leadership in San Antonio and Atlanta. Now back home in Dallas, she’s focused on honoring the legacy of the Arboretum while shaping its future through community engagement, sustainability, and innovation.

From seasonal festivals to future plans for education and access, this episode is full of growth... literally and figuratively. You’ll never look at the Arboretum the same way again.
