We design and manage our gardens to teach, inspire and please and to promote the use of native plants. Our gardens show how Texas native plants may be used in many landscapes and garden styles to bridge the gap between people and the natural world. On our 279 acres, we feature about 650 species of Texas native plants with a focus on the Central Texas Hill Country.

Don't miss the Courtyard, the Hill Country Stream and Woodland Garden, the Theme Gardens, the Home Owner Inspiration Gardens, the Butterly Garden and Insectary, the ponds and water features.

Cafe

Drop into the Wildflower Cafe for a complete lunch or a refreshing beverage. The Cafe is a great place to plan your Wildflower Center experience or relax after your visit. Situated at the corner of the main courtyard by the Tower, the Wildflower Cafe seats patrons both indoors in cool comfort or al fresco on two shaded patios. The Cafe offers counter service with an impressive selection of light, delicious lunch and refreshment fare. Specific menu choices change daily with the season and market availability.

Hours. The Wildflower Cafe is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 am till 4:00 pm, and Sunday from 12:00 am till 4:00 pm. Like the rest of the Wildflower Center, the Wildflower Cafe is open everyday during Wildflower Days, our spring festival season (usually late March through early May).

Groups. Seating is first-come, first-served, with limited seating for small groups. Groups with 20 or more adults who schedule their visit in advance with the group tours office may preorder picnic lunches at time of group visit reservation. The Wildflower Center also has picnic tables in more rustic settings on the site for groups large or small.
