Our 53rd annual
Zilker Garden Festival celebrated another successful year! Thousands of eager shoppers came through the gates on Saturday and Sunday, to enjoy a one-stop, garden shopping experience. Enjoy our photo album!
ZBG received 2 grants from the Austin Parks Foundation in 2008 and 2009--one for development of the Escarpment Trail for our dinosaur exhibit and one for the retaining wall for the new fern beds. We'd like to share their holiday letter:
Zilker Gateway Median Project This beautification project is a result of a public-private partnership between the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department and the Zilker Gateway Median Project, the Austin Parks Foundation, a coalition of neighborhood groups, garden clubs and local businesses, including The Austin Area Garden Council, Barton Hills Garden Club, Zilker Garden Club, Barton Hills Neighborhood Association and Zilker Neighborhood Association. Thanks to the generous contributions of both time and money from this coalition, the gateway to Zilker Park reflects Austin’s reputation as a “City within a Park”.
