​Scope and Content

Collection contains correspondence, meeting minutes, marketing materials, and reports.  The correspondence is to Jack Robinson, Director of the Park and Recreation Department.

According to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center:

The Wildflower Center was founded by Lady Bird Johnson and Helen Hayes as the National Wildflower Research Center in 1982 and later renamed the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in 1997.  It is a signature piece of Mrs. Johnson’s environmental legacy and is complementary to the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library and the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs on the university’s campus.  Originally opened on land in East Austin, the Center moved to its current site on a transition zone between the Edwards Plateau and Texas Blackland Prairies ecoregions in 1995.
