The importance of the North American Friendship Garden goes well beyond a symbolic gesture of tri-lateral good will. This 2,500 square foot pollinator garden enhances the existing ecosystem restoration benefits found nearby on the Mission Reach of the San Antonio River Walk by adding native grasses, wildflowers, trees, and shrubs that provide year-round opportunities for Monarch Butterflies and other pollinators, as well as resident and migratory birds.
In addition to the plantings in this pollinator garden, artistic features, including art benches and a bug hotel, add locations for thoughtful contemplation and environmental education.
The North American Friendship Garden is located within important migratory flyways, including the Texas Funnel, which supports Monarch Butterflies as they travel through this area each year using San Antonio as a rest stop while heading north towards Canada in the spring and south towards Mexico in the fall.
The Mission Reach Ecosystem Restoration and Recreation Project has transformed an 8 mile stretch of the San Antonio River into a quality riparian woodland ecosystem. This unique project restored riverine features and riparian woodlands, reintroduced native plants, enhanced aquatic habitat and reconnected cultural and historical features. Confluence Park is a gateway to the hike, bike and paddling trail, which begins near the Blue Star Arts Complex and ends near Mission Espada.
