Our Story
|
|
Clark Gardens was founded on the blooming love story of Max and Billie Clark. When it came to their mutual love for gardens and nature, Max built anything Billie desired- She served as much of the inspiration for the gardens, lakes, pavilions, and fountains seen at Clark Gardens today. Billie passed away in September 2012, just a few weeks short of their 62nd wedding anniversary. Today Max continues his labor of love by working in the garden daily and carrying on what he started with his bride in 1972. Billie left a legacy of beauty to North Texas. Clark Gardens has become an oasis to thousands year-round and is the starting point for couples as they begin their journey in marriage among the very space Max and Billie built together. |

Max Clark
Founder
 |
Max is the co-founder of Clark Gardens. His late wife, Billie Clark, and he built the gardens as a private oasis to enjoy. Later on, in 2000, the gardens were opened to the public as a 501c3 non-profit. Max is 92 years young and loves working in the gardens. Before the gardens, he owned his own business, which required frequent travel. While traveling, he would purchase two paperback books, one for the trip to his destination, and one for the journey home. This book collection is what lead to his love of reading and evolved the 1,000 plus book library in his home (westerns were always his all-time favorite). Max has a love and passion for the gardens, unlike anyone else. In his free time away from the gardens, he is either watching historical movies or enjoying time with his family. photo credit Jennifer Crenshaw Photography |
