Lady Bird Society
The Lady Bird Society is a growing circle of individuals and companies dedicated to continuing the vision of Lady Bird Johnson and the mission of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center at the University of Texas at Austin. Society members sustain the work of the Wildflower Center by pledging unrestricted annual gifts at one of four levels for three years or more, providing a stable source of funding for key programs and services. Members of the Lady Bird Johnson Society receive exclusive benefits including invitations to special events and recognition in Wildflower Center publications. As of December 22, 2012, there will be no more founding members, but we would love for you to become a member.
