The Garden Conservancy
Twistleaf was honored to serve as the Regional Ambassador for The Garden Conservancy, a non-profit dedicated to preserving, celebrating and sharing our nation's gardens and diverse gardening traditions. This volunteer role allowed us to connect with and support the vibrant Travis County horticultural community during our two year ambassadorship, from 2024 through 2025.
We were excited to organize the 2025 Travis County Open Day tour! As the country’s only nationwide garden visitation program, this November event offered a rare chance to experience private gardens typically closed to the public.
Attendees were able to spend an inspiring day alongside fellow botanical design enthusiasts exploring five unique landscapes across Central Austin, from an eclectic evergreen haven to a terraced retreat abundant with pollinator-friendly perennials. Take a look at each garden below.

Blooming Prairie:
A Fall Tour of Sustainable Flower Farming at Cassiopeia Farm
In fall 2024, we hosted the Austin area’s first Digging Deeper event. Led by Samantha Eberhardt and Daniel Poole of Cassiopeia Farm, our group spent the morning exploring and learning about the rewards and challenges of sustainable flower farming on their ten acres of the Blackland Prairie ecoregion, as well as their innovative efforts to grow more Central Texas native plants as cut flowers.
