the environmental necessity, economic value, and natural beauty
of native plants. The Center is a 279-acre native plant botanical
garden with numerous gardens and natural areas, scenic trails,

gift store, and cafe. Founded in 1982 by the former First Lady
and actress Helen Hayes, the Wildflower Center continues to
help beautify America and restore our natural heritage.
