I took this picture in front of a buiding in the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin. I think the carts sitting in the front yard looks interesting.

The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (279 acres) is a public botanical garden on La Crosse Avenue in Austin, Texas. It is devoted entirely to native plants. The center currently functions as an Organizational Research Unit of The University of Texas at Austin.

Lady Bird Johnson and actress Helen Hayes founded the National Wildflower Research Center in 1982 to protect and preserve North America's native plants and natural landscapes. Officially renamed Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in 1998, the mission of the center has been to increase the sustainable use and conservation of native wildflowers, plants and landscapes.

On June 20, 2006, the University of Texas System Board of Regents announced a plan to incorporate the Wildflower Center into The University of Texas at Austin.[1]
