Welcome to Zilker Botanical Garden.

Zilker Botanical Garden,  located on 30-acres in Austin, Texas in the United States, has often been called “the jewel in the heart of Austin”.   Theme gardens, such as rose, herb and Japanese garden are interconnected with streams, waterfalls and Koi-filled ponds. The Hartman Prehistoric Garden recreates local dinosaur habitat.

Zilker Botanical Garden is a unique collaboration between The City of Austin Park & Recreation Department (PARD) and the Austin Area Garden Council (AAGC).  Zilker Botanical Garden is free and open to the public year-round and is enjoyed by over 400,000 visitors each year, including thousands of school children from Austin and the surrounding communities.

From our annual spring garden festival, Zilker Garden Festival, to AAGC garden club workshops and plant sales throughout the year, to docent-led tours, we offer our visitors countless ways to enjoy Zilker Botanical Garden.

The Austin Area Garden Center is a non-profit organization established in 1955 to support Zilker Botanical Garden 's mission to promote the education and love of gardening among people of all ages. Its projects support beautification of the gardens visited yearly by half a million people from around the world. Its education programs reach thousands of school children and adults every year.
