By Ryan BrownA few quick notes about fun events in Austin this weekend. It looks like the weather is going to be great so get outside and enjoy!
Gardens On Tour
Every year the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center puts on a tour of gardens in the Austin area. It’s a self guided tour (like the AIA Homes Tour) which allows you access to amazing examples of landscape design and construction. Here’s a description from their website:
Join us Mother’s Day Weekend for an exclusive look into some of Austin’s most unique gardens. Gardens On Tour on Saturday, May 10, is an annual self-guided tour of carefully selected private landscapes and the celebrated gardens of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
The tour is Saturday, May 10, from 9AM to 5PM. Tickets cost $25. See full details here: Gardens On Tour
Movies in the Park - Best in Show
After a nice day touring beautiful gardens, why not catch a movie? Saturday night you can see one of my favorite movies in Republic Square park. The Austin Parks Foundation will be showing Best in Show as part of their Movies in the Park program. Festivities start at 7pm and include events for your pets.
