Zilker Botanical Garden spans 28 acres and welcomes more than 125,000 visitors each year, including thousands of local students. Made possible through a partnership between the Conservancy, Austin Parks & Recreation, and the Austin Area Garden Council, the Garden offers year-round access to beautiful spaces, educational programs, and community events.
Since 2019, this public-private partnership has strengthened the Garden’s future – expanding programming, enhancing visitor experiences, and funding key improvements like the riparian garden at the Taniguchi Japanese Garden.
Now, the Conservancy needs your help to fund ongoing garden improvements and program expansion: enhancing accessibility, upgrading infrastructure, and ensuring an even more welcoming experience for all visitors.
Your support is essential to sustain and grow this treasured community space for generations to come. Here are some ways you can get involved:
- Become a monthly donor
- Annual membership
- Commemorate a loved one or special event by purchasing an engraved brick* for the Walk of Friends
- Volunteer your time and talents to support the beautification and maintenance of the gardens within Zilker Botanical Garden
- Shop at Chrysalis, the gift shop in the Garden Center
Your generous support will enhance Zilker Botanical Garden now and for years to come.
Gifts to the Garden can be made online or mailed directly to the Garden.
