Why I Give

"My mom instilled in me a love for wildflowers. Every spring we would diligently search the woods around our house, looking for whatever was poking its head up. Supporting the Wildflower Center has been a great way for me to honor and remember my mom."
—Jeannie Wright, Atlanta, GA, Wildflower Center member since 1986

"Many people may not know the scope of what goes on at the Wildflower Center—sustainable landscapes, green roof technology, seed collection, plant collection, restoration of habitat. It's like a sanctuary. It's a very spiritual place. I find it fulfilling to volunteer here."
—Ken Wells, Austin, TX, Wildflower Center Advisory Council member

"Our family values the preservation of native Texas flowers and the beauty, wonder and pleasure they bring us and our children."
—Enrique and Fronye Rendon, Austin, TX

"I love nature...and anyone with the heart to preserve it deserves my support."
—Haley Miller, Austin, TX


In the 30 years since its founding by Lady Bird Johnson, the Wildflower Center has grown in size, scope and impact to become the premier source for information about native plants and sustainable landscapes in the country. None of this would have been possible without your support. In celebration, we're launching "Why I Give" so you can tell us—and other supporters—why the Center is important to you. Why do you give to the Wildflower Center?
