SAN ANTONIO BOTANICAL GARDENS

As soon as we finished up with breakfast at Guenther House we headed over to the Botanical Gardens, hoping to get there while it was still halfway cool. Why yes, we DID have free passes to that as well. However, it's definitely worth whatever they charge to get in! It's located in the Brackenridge Park area, near the fabulous Japanese sunken garden that I told you about here.



Not only did they have a great display of "savage plants", complete with a few ginormous sculpture replicas...





they also had a pretty good collection of native plants from each part of Texas, as well as some mighty fine scarecrows. I liked this one best.


We spent all morning there, and barely covered half the property.




Guess we'll just have to go back again to see the rest, huh?
