THE SAN ANTONIO BOTANICAL GARDEN IS HOME TO LUSH BLOOMS, INSIGHTFUL CLASSES AND EVEN ELEVATED CUISINE PREPARED ON GROUNDS. THIS SUMMER, THE GARDENS WILL ALSO BE FILLED WITH THE LIVELY COLORS OF FRIDA KAHLO’S FAMOUS PAINTINGS.
The San Antonio Botanical Garden is nationally recognized for its outstanding display of blooms, commitment to cultural education and striking range of architecture. This summer, experience the Garden in a whole new way alongside Frida Kahlo in the summer exhibition — Frida Kahlo Oasis. The newest exhibition at the Garden uncovers Kahlo’s connection with Mexican vegetation and the fundamental role plants, blooms and colors played in her work. The Casa Azul garden, inspired by Kahlo’s home, features over 2,000 square feet of tropical foliage, desert plants and sculpture represen20 HOME DESIGN & DECOR AUSTIN-SAN ANTONIO |

Celebrate long summer nights at the repeating Noches de Frida series, attend lectures about the artist or recreate some of the memorable meals Diego and Frida shared together in virtual cooking classes. Come to the Garden with Frida and see what inspires you this summer.
