Zilker Botanical Garden


Zilker Botanical Garden is located in Austin, Texas.  It covers 30 acres on the south bank of the Colorado River near downtown Austin.  For this reason, it is often called, "the jewel in the heart of Austin." There are many lovely gardens here, including a rose garden, herb garden, Japanese garden, Pioneer garden, and children's garden.  Visitors will enjoy roaming around, seeing streams, waterfalls, and koi-filled ponds.


The gardens are open daily from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM.  Cost of admission is $2.00 per adult and $1.00 per child.

I hope you have all enjoyed  the gardens of the A-Z challenge! 

Before I go, I'd like to let you know that I am a guest on Kitty Cat at the Library Blog. I'm talking about my upcoming book, Bubba and Squirt's Big Dig to China. Please stop by to learn about the book and my writing process.

    My friend Kerri is from there - I'll ask her if she's ever visited those gardens.
