Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center

I would think about doing, there is a blend, three different species that Douglas King does on the seed that they call Habiterf.

After Lyndon's presidency ended in nineteen sixty-nine and he died in nineteen sev-- seventy-three, Lady Bird continued environmental advocacy.

She founded the National Wildflower Research Center, now the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, promoting native plants and ecological landscaping.

She worked on conservation projects for decades, living until two thousand and seven, dying at age ninety-four, having seen environmental protection become a major political issue, partly because of groundwork she'd laid.

Lady Bird Johnson proved that you could care about beauty and still be taken seriously, that environmental advocacy was legitimate policy work, that soft issues could have hard impacts.
