Austin, Texas—Zadok Jewelers has partnered with Austin Parks Foundation to support the care and preservation of the city’s wildflowers and green spaces.
The promotion began on Earth Day, April 22, with a portion of every engagement ring purchased in-store at Zadok Jewelers’ Austin location donated to Austin Parks Foundation’s efforts to care for local wildflowers in the city’s green spaces.
The seventh-generation, family-owned jeweler opened in Houston, Texas, in 1976. Its first Austin store opened last year.
Zadok Jewelers has also partnered with Trees for Houston since 2020, planting a tree in honor of each engagement ring sold at its Houston showroom.
“We’ve always believed that the most meaningful jewelry should stand for something beyond the moment,” said Jonathan Zadok, partner at Zadok Jewelers.
“Our partnership with Austin Parks Foundation allows those moments to give back in a meaningful way, supporting the wildflowers that are central to Austin’s identity.”

“Our partnership with Austin Parks Foundation allows those moments to give back in a meaningful way, supporting the wildflowers that are central to Austin’s identity.”
The Austin Parks Foundation works to improve public parks, trails, and green spaces through volunteering, innovative programming, advocacy, and financial support.
The nonprofit has restored native meadows where wildflowers grow, removed invasive species, and supported community planting initiatives across city parks to ensure Austinites have access to green spaces.
“We’re grateful to partner with Zadok to support the native wildflowers that are such a visible and meaningful part of our parks,” said Colin Wallis, CEO of Austin Parks Foundation.
“Our work is rooted in partnering with the community to enhance people’s lives through our parks, trails, and green spaces. Caring for these spaces takes ongoing effort, and partnerships like this help us maintain the colorful landscapes that make Austin so unique.”
