Mary Irish Memorial Scholarship Fund

In 2022 San Antonio Garden Center established the Mary Irish Memorial Scholarship to honor the late horticulturist and author Mary Irish who wrote 10 popular books on gardening in Texas and the southwest. Through her writing, garden talks, and volunteer work at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens, Mary was an inspiration and incomparable asset to our San Antonio gardening community. A generous initial donation from Charles Bartlett, local garden designer, funds this scholarship.  We welcome any additional contributions designated for The Mary Irish Memorial Scholarship fund.
