Often, when local visitors tour the South Texas Botanical Gardens & Nature Center, they think about celebrations coming up and think how nice it would be to have a wedding, graduation, birthday party, company party  . . . surrounded by the casual beauty of the Botanical Gardens.  In fact, in spring and summer months, we host weddings almost every weekend.  First, to rent any area on our site, you must be a member.  Basic personal memberships currently are:  $30-Individual, $40-Couple, $50-Family or Grandparent, with higher levels available.  (Please see our membership page.)
