Lady Bird Johnson, our former first lady, and Actress Helen Hayes founded the Wildflower Center in 1982 to protect and preserve North America’s native plants and natural landscapes.
Decades ago, Mrs. Johnson recognized that our country was losing its natural landscapes and its natural beauty. As much as 30 percent of the world’s native flora is at risk of extinction. The Wildflower Center was intended to help preserve and restore that beauty and the biological richness of North America. Since then, the Center has become one of the country’s most credible research institutions and effective advocates for native plants.
