Welcome to
Zilker Botanical Garden!
This uniquely Austin collaboration of the City of Austin's
Parks and Recreation Department and the Austin
Area Garden Council features a number of different
gardens, including the two newest: the Hartman
Prehistoric Garden, installed in the area where dinosaur
tracks were found in 1992, and the Green
Garden, with areas planted by different local designers
with native and well-adapted plants that thrive in
Austin's challenging soils and climate. The ADA Trail
of Passages meanders back and forth through beds of
both native and introduced plantings, leading to the
Rose garden. The Taniguchi
Japanese Garden is a unique
component of the botanical garden. Read
more about various
architectural, historical, and garden features and demonstrations,
including the demonstration for rainwater harvesting.
Zilker
Botanical Garden is supported in many ways by many
people. You can help by volunteering
your time and talents, contributing money, and purchasing
items from Chrysalis,
our gift shop, or a brick in the Walk
of Friends. Another great way to support us is to attending our annual Spring garden festival, Zilker Garden Festival.
