Monty Andrews Arboretum @ West Blalock Park
Score4.2Small native-plant arboretum with boardwalks, wetland overlooks and dense subtropical foliage—great for close-up plant and insect work, birding and reflective water compositions. Best light is golden hour and overcast mornings for even plant tones. Accessible trails and parking at West Blalock Park; no entry fee. Weekday mornings bring fewer people and more active birds; dry season (Nov–Apr) yields clearer skies and better light.
