Designating Nacogdoches as the official Garden Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035.
HCR 37 designates Nacogdoches as the official "Garden Capital of Texas" for a 10-year period ending in 2035. This symbolic resolution recognizes the city's extensive public gardens, historic horticultural sites (like the SFA Azalea Garden and university gardens), and community efforts to preserve Texas' gardening heritage. It does not create new laws, allocate funding, or impose requirements on any entity. The designation is purely ceremonial, honoring Nacogdoches' longstanding commitment to public green spaces and horticulture.
