The recent cold spell may have left its icy mark on Houston’s landscape, but at the heart of Hermann Park Conservancy, a resilient garden stands tall, defying the winter’s grasp.

Doreen Stoller is President of the Hermann Park Conservancy. Each morning a group of gentlemen who have been friends for decades greet me as I arrive to my office at Hermann Park Conservancy. Hermann Park Conservancy’s master plan was designed to create a space where all people would be welcomed, and where they could connect with nature and with one another. I love many things about Houston. Hermann Park is here and we are open for Houston.
