Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Site Specs October 25, 2008

The 2nd Annual Lady Bird Johnson Tribute Wildflower Planting Event

Come join the fun and help us plant wildflowers! We’ll be planting on October 25 beginning at 9:00 a.m. all over Houston. The event is a great project for families. Children are welcomed if accompanied by a parent.

All seeds will be provided and instructions will be given on Saturday, October 25 prior to planting. Volunteers are asked to dress for the outdoors and wear closed toed shoes. We will be planting Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrushes, Primroses, and a Drummond Phlox mix.

Pre - registration is encouraged (so we know we have enough volunteers at each site) but not required. To register contact Oneika McCarthy by phone at (713) 865-9348 or by email oneika.mccarthy@cityofhouston.net.
