- I recently visited The San Antonio Botanical Garden, and they make it clear from the first moment that you are entering a place of botanical beauty and dramatic visual effects, not just a place of learning and study. …and in my experience there, they definitely succeed. See for yourself! – Stacey Hirvela, Martha Stewart Radio Blog
- I spent all day wandering, taking in the beauty, and enjoying as much of the garden as I could. It was peaceful and educational. Take a camera and extra batteries! There were exhibits that were fun for kids and plenty of room to let them wander. – Mary, Yahoo! Travel

About San Antonio Botanical Garden
The San Antonio Botanical Garden, which rests on 38 acres, not only dazzles visitors with bright sunflowers and roses, aquatic plants, and a glass display case filled with orchids, but it also teaches them about the local and world flora with informative exhibits. Four large, formal beds showcase seasonally rotating displays, and the Texas Native Trail features representative species from Hill Country, East Texas Piney Woods, and South Texas. Encompassing a wider array of biomes, the Lucile Halsell Conservatory boasts collections of tropical fruits and desert cacti housed within glass buildings that surround the sunken tropical lagoon.
Aside from these exhibits, the botanical garden also hosts summer-camp sessions, school-group programs, and classes for adults as well as children. These programs include lectures and hands-on lessons that discuss local plants and which garden insects are helpful and which are harmful.
