Wildflowers are an important part of North America s heritage. Native plants are vital to the health of every natural habitat, yet nearly one-fourth of all known American wildflowers and native plants are in danger of extinction.

The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is a non-profit organization committed to the preservation and reestablishment of native wildflowers, grasses, shrubs, and trees. Thousands of people proudly claim membership in the growing ranks of our organization, and are putting their concern for the environment into action.
