Small interpretive center and demonstration gardens on the San Marcos river—rich in native plants, pollinator habitat and event activity (Monarch Fest, plant sales). Photograph floral close-ups, pollinators, garden layouts and candid event scenes. Best light: early morning or late afternoon; events offer activity but are crowded. Free admission typically; check hours for weekend events. On-site parking and easy walking paths make it accessible for most photographers.
