This weekend Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center held there spring plant sale. So with much excitement a day trip was planned. So much is in bloom right now everything looked so beautiful.

Our group arrived at the gardens in the middle of the afternoon in between rain sprinkling storms. Parking was kinda hard because of the plant sale but inside the wildflower center it was not very crowded. You couldn't tell the streets had been lined with cars.

We spent a little while wandering around some of the gardens. We got hung up in the Woodland garden area. The stream that meandered through the garden was captivating.

The theme gardens where also a big hit. Not so much for the themes of the garden but because of the amount of flowers and plants in each square garden.

Of course we did not make it around all the gardens, arboretum, or trails. But we did purchase a membership for future trips. Most of the garden is wheelchair accessible and kid friendly. This made for a very pleasant family outing for our family.
The plant sale was my main focus this trip. With the purchase of a membership our group received a coupon for three free 4-inch plants. I ended up picking up seventeen plants in all. I had a long list but I also had a budget. A large number of the plants I wanted had already been sold out that also helped keep my spending on a short leash. Well a garden is a process. Even in the wild it is ever changing and adapting. Time and patience is the key to gardens.
Good luck planting everyone!
