First Lady Lady Bird Johnson took her ability to influence change very seriously. As the counterpart to President Lyndon B. Johnson, she used her political power for eco-friendly good. She established the National Wildflower Research Center in 1982, what would eventually become the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. She also championed legislation that helped to protect the environment. As an homage to her hard work, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center hosts Lady Bird Day every summer. This year, come to celebrate the First Lady on Saturday, July 28th.
The free event includes a guided tour of the gardens, which Lady Bird helped to design all those years ago. Along the way, play outdoor games and discover new aspects of Mother Nature at special stations. Swing by the auditorium, too, where you can watch some of Lady Bird Johnson's own home movies and films that shed more light on her legacy.
