The best way to bring a touch of springtime into your apartment at Lamar Union is with fresh flowers. And there's no better place to find fresh flowers than Zilker Botanical Gardens, which is just a mile and a half from your home.
This weekend, April 26 and 26, you can attend the Heart O’ Texas Orchid Society's 44th Annual Show and Sale, dubbed "Fifty Shades of Orchids," and check out a vast variety of orchids and other blossoms. You can also get some beautiful potted or fresh orchids for your mother — Mother's Day is just around the corner.
While you're there, take a stroll around Zilker Botanical Garden's more than 25 acres, which are home to numerous specialty gardens, including Japanese, herb, rose gardens, connected by serene, winding pathways and flanked with waterfalls, flowing streams, and ponds.
