GIFT GUIDE

  • Support our conservation work by symbolically adopting a wildflower in your mother‘s honor. Choose from five beloved species or select the bouquet!  
  • Present your mom with a Wildflower Center membership, so they two of you can roam our gardens all year long. She’ll get discounts on classes, reciprocal admission to more than 300 other botanic gardens and more.
  • Our Gift Store is full of keepsakes your mother will cherish forever. Nancy Shilling, the Wildflower Center’s retail manager, recommends the bluebonnet or firewheel treasures pictured below to commemorate the spring 2022 season.
