Splendor in the Garden 2019 presents
Urban Oasis: honoring the Sun, Soil, and Soul of San Antonio
Wednesday, May 8th, 2019
6:30 – 10:30 p.m.
Weather Update
We continue to monitor the weather and the forecast shows clear skies late this afternoon. We do not anticipate delays or cancellations to our event tonight. We look forward to enjoying a beautiful evening in the Garden. Please stay tune to our social media pages and website for any additional updates.
In honor of our strong partnership with the City of San Antonio over the past 30 years, we will raise a glass in gratitude and toast to the Garden’s bright future.
Urban Oasis supports the Botanical Garden’s mission to inspire people to connect with the plant world and understand the importance of plants in our lives through programs such as: field trips, culinary health and wellness, the children’s vegetable garden, summer culinary activities, science and arts camps, and the Family Adventure Garden.
Table sponsors should have received an email about payment, table guests, and logistics for the evening. If you have not heard from us, please email lsalfen@sabot.org for more information.
For those, who won’t be joining us, we still invite you to support the educational programming at the Garden by purchasing raffle tickets or making a contribution to support the Garden and to help provide greater access to the Garden’s programs for school children.
The San Antonio Botanical Garden is grateful to this year’s steering committee
