- Originally a rock quarry, part of the tea garden came from a donation by George W. Brackenridge and another section from Emma Koehler. In 1915 Ray Lambert, city parks commissioner, thought it would make a nice location for a lily pond. Ultimately, it grew to become a tea garden. The latest renovations began in 2007 and cost about $1.6 million, compared with the $7,000 Lambert originally spent to open the park. It is a Registered Texas Historic Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places.Originally a rock quarry, part of the tea garden came from a donation by George W.

The Garden has changed so much with the renovations that were completed a couple of years ago. I remember going before the renovation and wondering what was going on with all the rocks, no water, and absolutely no garden. The changes are wonderful and I have spent a couple of Saturday afternoons reading in the shade there and just enjoying the surroundings. One of the nicest places to be in San Antonio now!
