Zilker gardens go virtual
Thursday, January 7, 2016 by Elizabeth Pagano
Let’s say you love plants but are wildly allergic to local flora. Up until now, that probably made trips to the Zilker Botanical Garden a source of internal conflict. Luckily, the city has good news for you. As of now, the botanical gardens can be seen virtually, through a tour available on the garden’s website. The tour offers information about the gardens and their history, and it is available to all – not just the housebound.
