Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center

Strolling along the trails of wildflowers, plants, trees, and shrubs at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center less than ten miles south of Austin, offers a chance to enjoy Texas as it used to be, before the cities took over our natural landscapes. Walking through fields of flowers, all native to Texas, and down shady paths of trees and shrubs offers plenty of opportunities for photographing, studying, or simply enjoying a peaceful spring afternoon. Unlike well-manicured botanical gardens, the Wildflower Center is just that—Wild. There are other activities for families including a lookout tower, gift shop, and cafe.
