Attendance to the seminars is free and open to the public. A park entrance fee is required.\nThe Austin Area Garden Center in Zilker Botanical Garden is located at 2220 Barton Springs Rd.\, Austin 78746. \nPark entrance fee is $2 per adult\, $1 per child (ages 3-12) or seniors (age 62 & over)\, and $3 for non-Austin Residents.
