EXPERIENCE A LIVING MUSEUM FOR PLANTS

At the Houston Botanic Garden, there is something to discover down every winding path. Here, you can engage all of your senses.

See the diverse color and beauty of plants from around the world in our Global Collection Garden. Hear the sounds of wildlife drawn to our natural ecosystems. Smell the aroma of our Pine Grove and other distinct botanic fragrances wafting through the air. Taste — figuratively and literally — the bounty from our Culinary Garden through its culinary arts programs. Reach out and touch the simple machines in the water play area and nature play structures surrounding the Susan Garver Family Discovery Garden.

Learn how to read plant labels to learn more about the plants in the Garden’s collection.
