Texas Wildflower Day

Beyond the Bloom

Protecting Pollinators | Preserving our Future
Friday-Saturday, April 24-25, 2026

Pollinators are essential partners in our food system and natural world, responsible for helping plants reproduce and ecosystems thrive. Native gardens feature plants carefully selected to nourish pollinators year-round, providing food, shelter, and safe passage throughout every season.

Our 2026 Texas Wildflower Day celebrates these pollinators. Learn how native plants support bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators—and how simple choices can help protect them for generations to come.
