The garden is also a favorite gathering spot for the San Antonio s art and music crowd. Music and conversation, and laughter are often heard in the garden as guests enjoy a closeness to the beauty of nature that often eludes big city residents. If you would like to visit this magical garden oasis, you will have your chance this weekend. Sterly Dossmann is hosting an open house for San Antonio area gardeners and artists to showcase his unique tropical look garden. Guides will be available to answer your gardening questions and will include representatives from Atlantis Greenhouses in Cibolo, just to the NE of San Antonio.
Admission is free.
The Gecko Springs Garden is located at the home of Sterly Dossmann at 5810 Gillis in San Antonio, Texas. From 410 exit at Evers, cross Wurzbach and go 3 blocks farther up the hill to Printiss and turn right. On Printiss take the first left on Presley and then one short block to Evers and turn left. Sterly s home is on the left 3rd house from this turn. The simplicity of the front yard landscaping of the Dossmann home at 5810 Gillis in San Antonio gives no clue to the subtropical paradise that exists behind the house in the space that previously was a plain grassy back yard.
