Thinking of having a summer wedding in Austin, but worried that it sounds like a recipe for dead plants and uncomfortable guests?  Never fear, our gardens are beautiful year-round with native plants that are adapted to different seasons.  Furthermore, our beautiful Artisan Ballroom, featured in the background of the above photo offers a glass walled view to the outside, making the space feel airy and open, without also being exposed to the outdoors.

The Pride of Barbados, a tropical bush with lovely red and orange flowers blooms in the summer and fall.  This deciduous shrub/small tree is, in fact, a true tropical beauty; it’s the national flower of Barbados.  Thankfully for our grounds, it is also very well suited to the climate in Central Texas.
