Enjoy the Gardens

Enjoy strolling about our gardens planted with Texas natives and adaptives. If you are new to Central Texas, you may be surprised by the number of beautiful plants available to us.
     
Not only do we have a wide variety of plants to enjoy, but we have an extremely long gardening season...often March through November or longer! Pay particular attention to the number of butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other creatures that visit. Why are there so many critters? There are two primary reasons…first we grow plants that attract the native animal species. Secondly, we do not use any chemicals. We are very strict organic gardeners, and we encourage you to be the same. A healthy environment is good for every person and every creature.
     

Shop at Wild Stuff Gift Shop

Whether you're looking for a butterfly net or a garden book, we have it in our gift shop! We have selected fun and unique nature-related items to be enjoyed by shoppers of all ages without the typical gift shop prices. All purchases help make our educational programs available to children throughout Central Texas.
