The Winter Garden Region is an agricultural area in South Texas (USA) located north of Laredo and southwest of San Antonio. The region is centered on four "core" counties - Dimmit, Frio, La Salle, and Zavala, but also includes parts of Atascosa, Maverick, and McMullen counties.
Bexar, Medina, Uvalde, and Wilson counties all have small or very small portions that lie within the defined area, but they are typically not considered part of the Winter Garden region.
The region is noted for its year-round production of vegetables through irrigation.

Should remain void of life, the floor of heaven
Was peopled with the stars and godlike forms,

Earth took the beasts and mobile air the birds.
A holier animal was wanting.”
