When Lady Bird Johson, the First Lady to President Lyndon B. Johnson, stepped into her role, Mother Nature rejoiced. Lady Bird Johnson helped to establish eco-friendly institutions like the National Wildflower Research Center—now the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center—and pushed for environmentally conscious legislation. Every year, her namesake research center celebrates Lady Bird Day in her honor. This year, it's coming to the Wildflower Center on Saturday, July 28th.
The free event pays homage to the former First Lady with a guided tour of the beautiful gardens, as well as games and discovery activities in the fresh air. To learn more about Lady Bird, stop by the auditorium to see some of her own home movies and other films that reveal more about her legacy. The fun runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
