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.

Library

The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Library provides information to educate people about our natural heritage. The Library is an essential component of the environmental education, conservation and restoration efforts at the Center. The Library collects and organizes information to support the programs of the Wildflower Center and makes effective use of all available resources to promote and disseminate native plant information.

History of the Collection
The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Library was established in 1982. At that time, materials were acquired by donation and purchase to primarily serve the staff of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. As resources improved, there was a continuous expansion of the core collection at both current and retrospective levels. When the Library moved to the current site, the collection was expanded to support new electives and concentrations to facilitate scholarly research of native plants, providing access to staff and public alike.

Access
The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Library is a non-lending research library, currently open by appointment only. Call our receptionist at (512) 232-0100 to make an appointment.
