About the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
Founded in 1982 by Lady Bird Johnson and the late Helen Hayes, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is dedicated to protecting and preserving North America's native plants and natural landscapes. Our mission - to increase the sustainable use and conservation of native wildflowers, plants and landscapes - guides all that we do. Every day, the Wildflower Center's horticulture, landscape restoration, plant conservation, and environmental education programs bring life to Mrs. Johnson's vision in our gardens and natural areas, and with projects across North America.
