12 Spots to Recharge in HTX
Hard work is part of every Houstonian's daily life. However, in the midst of the Houston hustle, it's important to remember to take some time to get out and recharge. Luckily, our city has plenty of green spaces where you can do just that. Here's a list of gardens and parks where you can wind down and reconnect with nature. And while these spots may not necessarily be Houston-owned businesses for you to support, they're all close to plenty of great local restaurants, cafes, and shops! We encourage you to make a day of it and support the nearby local businesses before or after visiting these beautiful destinations.
