Stop and Smell the Roses at the San Antonio Botanical Garden

August 14, 2014 by

San Antonio Botanical Garden is a 33-acre paradise that opened to the public in May of 1980. The space, which was previously a limestone quarry and waterworks, was perfect for the creation of an idyllic parkland that brings pleasure to residents young and old. In addition to the foliage, there are a number of other attractions in the garden, including the Lucille Halsell Conservatory and the historic Sullivan Carriage House, which was moved brick by brick to the Garden and reassembled.

The Garden hosts a number of special events throughout the year, including a popular Shakespeare in the Park series of performances, plant sales, and a fun family Halloween parade.
