Inside Orange, Texas, Shangri La is a 250-acre private reserve bequeathed by Nelda C. Stark to the Stark Foundation. H. J. Lutcher Stark began work on Shangri La in 1942 and the gardens first opened to the public in 1946. In the mid 1950s, the garden was heavily damaged by a hard freeze. The area was closed to the public and maintained on a very limited scale. Shangri La is a very unique ecosystem possessing not only wetlands, but a mixed deciduous forest, cypress tupelo swamp, and a large lake that attracts ducks and migratory birds.
