Wildflower Center - inspiring conservation of native plants
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.
