Landa Gardens Conservancy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to beautify and maintain the grounds at Landa Library, a branch of the San Antonio Public Library.
The grounds include the Valero Pavilion, a concrete sculpture designed and created by nationally renowned artist Carlos Cortés. The pavilion can accommodate a concert, can be used as a stage for children’s theater, story hour or puppet show, even a wedding or birthday party. The Gardens include beautiful landscaping, walking paths, benches, playground improvements, more than 7,000 new plants and a community garden.
It is the hope of Landa Gardens Conservancy that the entire community uses and enjoys Landa Gardens.
