Lady Bird Day


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 07/23/2022
Each year on Lady Bird Day, the Wildflower Center honors our namesake and founder and all that she did for our nation’s treasured environment. With her influence, President Johnson’s administration enacted more than 200 environmental laws with lasting national and local impact, including the 1965 Highway Beautification Act. We invite the community to celebrate Mrs. Johnson’s environmental legacy with FREE admission on Lady Bird Day — Saturday, July 23, 2022!

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
