Aside from the music festivals, food trucks, and shops, take time to explore the city’s gardens and parks. You will find a lot of native plants in the sustainable gardens of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. The center conducts research on wildflowers and facilitates educational programs and field trips centered around the conservation of plants. They also have classes on gardening, nature art and photography, wreath workshops, as well as meditation and yoga. Furthermore, they host the Austin Cave Festival where families can participate in lots of indoor and outdoor activities, listen to live music, and go on a cave tour.

Also, check out the Zilker Botanical Garden, located in the heart of downtown Austin. It features themed gardens like the Mabel Davis Rose Garden with roses in full bloom from April to June and the tranquil Taniguchi Japanese Garden which is a peaceful meditative spot in the middle of Zilker Park. Visit these inspiringly beautiful grounds and unwind as you’re surrounded by butterflies and the sweet fragrance of flowers.
