This is the first “Open Days” Tour in San Antonio, which benefits the national non-profit Garden Conservancy program. Each of the gardens on the self-guided tour reflect a different perspective on how plants and design combine to create unique outdoor living spaces. Each conserves water in their own way. Three of the homes were professionally designed, while the other three were created by the homeowner. Visitors to each of the gardens will take away ideas for their own home landscapes. Admission to each garden is $5.
