At the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center at The University of Texas, Austin, we inspire conservation of native plants through our gardens, research, education, consulting and outreach programs.
In doing so, we improve water quality, provide habitat for wildlife and enhance human health and happiness.
WHY NATIVE PLANTS MATTER
Native wildflowers, grasses, shrubs and trees help conserve water, reduce mowing costs, provide habitat for birds, butterflies and other wildlife, protect the soil, and reduce use of fertilizers and pesticides.
Our mission is to create awareness about the plight of the environment, to educate the public about caring for our planet, humanity and the environment, to run recycling operations and to support environmental projects and programs locally and globally.
Some of our projects:
