After 34 years as an educator, Elaine retired from Hays Consolidated ISD in 2011. She rediscovered Zilker Botanical Garden the following year as a volunteer while working to obtain her Master Gardener’s Certification. As often happens, one thing led to another, and she now helps to manage the Gift Shop, greeting guests from all over the world and introducing them to the magic that is ZBG! When not at Zilker, Elaine loves spending time with her family and friends, serving in various capacities at her church, traveling, and digging in her own garden.
