Community Calendar

Jaci Randel, Exec. Director of Bexar Branches Alliance will equip homeowners with essential knowledge to care for their trees through proper pruning and structural support. Participants will learn how to identify dead, damaged, or hazardous branches, make correct pruning cuts, and avoid practices that can harm tree health. The session also introduces the basics of cabling and bracing, helping attendees recognize when structural support is needed due to weak branch unions, storm damage, or growth patterns that increase risk. Through practical guidance, homeowners will gain the confidence to maintain safer, healthier trees and make informed decisions about when to manage trees themselves or seek professional arborist support.

WHAT: A captivating large-scale immersive art experience, Otherwild, will transform the San Antonio Botanical Garden this spring into a vibrant world where wonder takes root and the sky comes alive.

Debuting Saturday, March 7, the exhibition features colorful visionary installations by artist Patrick Shearn and his internationally renowned studio, Poetic Kinetics, which is recognized for large-scale public art that inspires awe, movement, and creative exploration.

Otherwild invites visitors to step into a whimsical, nature-inspired environment where art and landscape merge. The installation will unfold into two distinct parts:

● Flora Borealis - a custom Skynet installation of ultra-lightweight, kinetic elements that float with the breeze, contrasting the SABG’s natural landscape

● Enchanted Trees - a sculptural grove of ten imaginary species, each with its own personality, crafted from reflective, movement-responsive materials that interact with sunlight and wind.

Otherwild is included with standard admission. To learn more and purchase tickets, please visit www.sabgtx.org
