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.
The Member's Garden was created to honor the support the Wildflower Center receives from its 18,000 members. A number of our 400 volunteers (nearly all of whom are also members) regularly help maintain the garden.

Prominent plants in the Member's Garden include Red y and reflection for visitors. Though the Member's Garden features plants native to Central Tucca, abundant Prickly Pear cacti and a huge Texas Mountain laurel that flowers fragrantly every Spring. Various wildflowers blossom throughout the year, including Prairie phlox and the ever-popular Bluebonnet. A memorial bench anchors the Member's Garden, allowing restexas, its design can be used by gardeners across North America using plants native to their respective regions.
