San Antonio Botanical Garden:
The Garden’s tranquil 38 acres serve as a living museum of native and imported plant life for guests to appreciate, learn from, and enjoy.
The San Antonio Botanical Garden was first imagined nearly eight decades ago by civic influencers Mrs. R. R. Witt and Mrs. Joseph Murphy. Mrs. R. R. Witt and Mrs. Joseph Murphy conceived the idea of a Botanical Garden in San Antonio in the 1940s. Together with their friends and associates, they organized the San Antonio Garden Center. Their first major effort was the development and presentation of a master plan for a public botanical garden in the late 1960s. The recommended future Botanical Garden site was a decades-old gift to the City from George W. Brackenridge, given in 1899. The property was originally home to the Brackenridge Waterworks in 1877, when water was pumped uphill through Mahncke Park from the San Antonio River to create a 5,000,000-gallon reservoir (which today is the Botanical Garden’s hilltop amphitheater). Forty years of planning and partnerships finally blossomed on May 3, 1980, with the official opening of the Botanical Garden.
Since that day, the formal gardens and collections of native Texas plants have evolved to make the Botanical Garden one of the most noteworthy botanical centers in the state, educating and inspiring guests from around the world.
The Botanical Garden expanded by eight acres in 2017 with support from its $40 million GROW capital campaign. Complementing the existing Garden through a new entrance experience, a culinary garden and outdoor kitchen for teaching health and wellness, and a family adventure garden promoting nature play.

As of early 2019, the Botanical Garden transitioned into privatization after a 30-year partnership with the City of San Antonio. This nearly 40-year-old Garden continues to operate on City property.
