Program areas at Houston Botanic Garden
The Houston Botanic Garden enriches lives through discovery, education, and the conservation of plants and the natural environment. The Garden's grand opening in September 2020 provided a major addition to Houston's cultural, educational, and scientific institutions and growing list of urban green spaces. Located a short distance from downtown, the 132-acre site is filled with horticultural displays, natural ecosystems, and walking trails. Through collections, interpretation, and education programs, the Garden provides a beautiful place for visitors to learn about plants, conservation, and nature; connects Houstonians across different cultures and ethnicities; and closes an existing gap in the world-class City's amenities for residents and tourists. See Schedule O.The Garden also participates in scientific research and the conservation of the planet's precious plant biodiversity.
