Looking for plants that grow best in San Antonio soils and are the most efficient water users? What is good for mulch? What kind of materials do you use for pathways that will still allow water to reach plants? Come and see! The San Antonio Botanical Garden’s WaterSaver Garden is a co-operative project with the San Antonio Water System and a demonstration for home gardeners.

The formal beds are comprised of four large rectangular display areas that are changed seasonally to display a variety of fun colors and textures. Reacquaint yourself with older flower varieties in the Old Fashioned Garden. Savor sweet fragrances in the Rose Garden. Engage your senses of touch and smell in the Sensory Garden. Admire the unique Kumamoto En garden, a gift from our Sister City of Kumamoto, Japan, with its finely crafted structures and many symbolic features. Experience the beauty of the Sacred Garden, Shade Garden, Gertie’s Garden and other garden displays.

If you’ve ever wished you could do something for the San Antonio Botanical Garden and did not think you were able, we hope that you’ll consider naming the Garden in your estate planning. Connecting people with nature is at the heart of everything we do at the Garden. We know that many of you share this deep respect for nature and all that it means in our lives. Since 1980 the Botanical Garden has engaged families in exploring the diverse world of plants on our 38 acres. We realize that if we teach children to love nature, they will become its stewards in the future. Your bequest helps to continue and grow this legacy for generations to come.

The 11-acre Texas Native Trail contains more than 250 plant species in collections that represent three ecosystems. In the East Texas Pineywoods, visitors find pines, sweetgum, sassafras, and other acidic soil-loving woodland species. The Hill Country area features live oaks, juniper, Texas mountain laurel, Eve’s necklace, Blanco crabapple, Possum Haw, Hop-tree, Uvalde maples, and other limestone tolerant plants. In the South Texas region, dryland trees and thorny brush such as torchwood, Mexican olive, mesquite, Texas ebony, and huisaache thrive.

The Texas Native Trail is a unique aspect of the San Antonio Botanical Garden. This area consists of plant communities characteristic of the Hill Country (Edwards Plateau), East Texas Pineywoods, and South Texas. These three distinctive and diverse ecological regions of Texas vary in soil, plant life, topography, and weather. The authentic botanical setting is enhanced by several early Texas houses, which have been reconstructed on the site to help illustrate and interpret the regional theme.

The Conservatory complex features plants from around the world in the exhibit rooms which encircle the courtyard. Relax by the garden pond with its displays of hardy and tropical waterlilies.
