The oak trees of Salado are a rich heritage according to History of Salado, Texas compiled by MaryBelle Brown and Bill Kinnison. Oak wilt can damage that heritage. One can imagine Native American tribes camping near or under trees by Salado Creek as they carved flint and hunted. Mexican and American settlers also chose to build homes around and near the trees such as Dr. Benjamin McKie and his wife Eva who built their home in Salado amongst giant oak trees. Their home is now known as Twelve Oaks. Today we see families and friends gathering under the trees to play in the creek and share a picnic lunch.

Keep Salado Beautiful will sponsor tours of Salado’s gardens Oct. 8 with proceeds funding improvements in Salado.
Definition of garden from Wikipedia: “A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature.” Linda and Mickey Rawls have combined the art of featuring plants, the natural resources of the land and the imagination to create their garden spaces. They have extensively used local rock and stone throughout their landscape combined with various sized rusted pipe vessels used as containers for potted specimens. As you enter the landscape along the driveway, notice the hillside has been lined with river rock and terraced with large limestone.
