Send flowers to Mom for Mother’s Day, OR bring Mom to the flowers! The South Texas Botanical Gardens & Nature Center, 8545 S. Staples St., lets you experience some flora, fauna and fun with Mom, on Mother’s Day Free Weekend—from 9 am – 6 pm, Saturday and Sunday, May 11 and 12.

At Visitors Center Check-in, a mother needs to say “Show Me the Flowers!”, and she gets in free! The rest of her entourage pays general admission, unless members. All exhibits are open, including the Kids Play Area. Both days, experience ‘Rep-Tales’ at 10:30 am!

Looking for that special gift? Buy Mom a membership this weekend at 20% off, for a year of free admission, free classes, Nature’s Boutique, BIG BLOOM and other discounts, national magazine subscription, plus free admission to 360 Reciprocal Gardens around the country, listed at (www/ahsgardening.org/rap)!

Or, book your group a Private Animal Encounter, by calling 361-852-2100.
