The South Texas Botanical Gardens & Nature Center is one of Corpus Christi’s five major attractions, and a leading South Texas nature tourism destination.

Often, when local visitors tour the South Texas Botanical Gardens & Nature Center, they think about celebrations coming up and think how nice it would be to have a wedding, graduation, birthday party, company party . . . surrounded by the casual beauty of the Botanical Gardens. In fact, in spring and summer months, we host weddings almost every weekend.
