If you’ve ever wished you could do something for the San Antonio Botanical Garden and did not think you were able, we hope that you’ll consider naming the Garden in your estate planning. Connecting people with nature is at the heart of everything we do at the Garden. We know that many of you share this deep respect for nature and all that it means in our lives. Since 1980 the Botanical Garden has engaged families in exploring the diverse world of plants on our 38 acres. We realize that if we teach children to love nature, they will become its stewards in the future. Your bequest helps to continue and grow this legacy for generations to come.

In the East Texas Pineywoods, visitors find pines, sweetgum, sassafras, and other acidic soil-loving woodland species. The Hill Country area features live oaks, juniper, Texas mountain laurel, Eve’s necklace, Blanco crabapple, Possum Haw, Hop-tree, Uvalde maples, and other limestone tolerant plants. In the South Texas region, dryland trees and thorny brush such as torchwood, Mexican olive, mesquite, Texas ebony, and huisaache thrive.

The Texas Native Trail is a unique aspect of the San Antonio Botanical Garden. This area consists of plant communities characteristic of the Hill Country (Edwards Plateau), East Texas Pineywoods, and South Texas. These three distinctive and diverse ecological regions of Texas vary in soil, plant life, topography, and weather. The authentic botanical setting is enhanced by several early Texas houses, which have been reconstructed on the site to help illustrate and interpret the regional theme.
