Welcome to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center

The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is dedicated to North America's native flora. Our mission to inspire the conservation of native plants guides all that we do.

At the Wildflower Center, we apply nature's principles to designed landscapes. The Wildflower Cen­ter nestles gently into 284 acres of Central Texas Hill Country, and the landscape and the buildings reflect our Hill Country home. The Center's focus on native plants, resource conservation, and ecologically sensitive design reflects our deep concern for the environment.

Founded by former First Lady Lady Bird Johnson and actress Helen Hayes in 1982, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center encourages the conservation and restoration of native plants in all types of landscape situations. The Center's extensive environmental education program and national Native Plant Information Network combine to extend its mission across North America. Our commitment to education and young people is the foundation for all we do: Education is at the core of our mission, and children are the keys to our future. Together we can work to make a difference.
