Arboretum San Antonio

What a Saturday! 🦋 🌳

We had such a great time at the San Antonio Monarch Butterfly & Pollinator Festival, presented by Blooming with Birdie! From chatting with neighbors about our Master Plan to sharing tips on planting a tree the right way, it was a beautiful day of connection and community.

A special highlight: our CEO joined the Nature Speaks panel to talk about San Antonio's tree canopy - why it matters, what's at stake, and how projects like ours are working to grow it back, one native tree at a time. 🎙️

We are honored to sponsor this event to celebrate pollinators and the role trees have in the conversation. Monarchs need native habitat to survive their migration, and that's exactly the kind of landscape we're growing.

🌳 Big thanks to San Antonio Tourist for the beautiful feature on Arboretum San Antonio! 📰

Writer Denise Barkis Richter captured exactly why this work matters—trees aren't just scenery; they're the lungs, heart, and kidneys of our planet, cleaning the air, cooling our neighborhoods, and sheltering the birds, insects, and wildlife we share this city with.

From Henry Cisneros's original vision of a "Cathedral of Trees" to the 200+ acres taking shape on San Antonio's Southside today, we're grateful for every storyteller who helps us share what's possible when a community invests in its green spaces.

Thank you, San Antonio Tourist, for helping spread the word!

Thanks to the brainchild of former Mayor Henry Cisneros, San Antonio's Southeast Side will house a 185-acre museum of trees.

What a Big Give it was! 🌳

Thanks to this incredible community, we raised $23,750 to help grow South Texas’ first arboretum. We may not have hit our full goal of $30,000, but every gift, every share, and every Match Minute builds our community of supporters and moves us one day closer to opening our doors.

The work continues, and if you’d still like to give, gifts are always welcome anytime at arboretumsa.org or by check. Visit arboretumsa.org/donate for all the details.

Thank you for believing in this vision with us. 💚
