Texas Plant Conservation Conference

September 15, 16, and 17, 2010

at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center

The 2010 Texas plant Conservation Conference is scheduled for September 15-17, 2010.

Austin is just simply not like the rest of Texas. From the quirky cast of characters that populate Congress Avenue to burnt orange-clad University of Texas students, bats to Longhorns, four-star restaurants to down-home barbecue joints, corporate CEO's to struggling musicians, Texas' capital city stands apart from the rest.

It's hip and trendy, yet in a vintage sort of way. It's high-tech and laid-back. It's politically charged and culturally rich. It's eclectic by nature and creative by design. Most of all, it's a place where people like to have a good time.

This year the conference will be held at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. This special place exists to introduce people to the beauty and diversity of wildflowers and other native plants. The Center's gardens display the native plants of the Central Texas Hill Country. Our 16 unique gardens are designed to inspire, educate and demonstrate the beauty of native plants. More than four miles of trails illustrate the inspiring beauty of the Texas Hill Country as it might have been hundreds of years ago.

This year's conference celebrates 10 years of highlighting plant conservation work from around the state, including invasive plants and the challenges these species present to our rare and endangered flora.
