On January 27th, Zilker Botanical Garden held its second annual volunteer appreciation event. This potluck-style celebration brought together volunteers and staff who share a love for the Garden and offer their talents by way of gardening, providing educational tours and so much more.
Awards were given to some outstanding volunteers who continued to show their dedication throughout 2023. And of course, there was cake too!
