Lady Bird Johnson was an ardent advocate of preserving the regionality and natural beauty of gardens. Along with actress Helen Hayes, she founded these gardens in 1982. Today, they're 279 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, trails, and pretty buildings, including a cafe and a neat little gift shop. Native plants predominate.
