Flowers, plants and critters galore: Wildflower Center hosts Nature Nights

Find out how you can be a part of the fun.

AUSTIN, Texas — Nature Nights are a series of free, family-oriented events at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center where you can have fun while you learn.

They'll talk about flora, fauna, critters, plants and habitats in a fun way.

"We have a lot of hands-on activities, crafts, hikes and walks and talks with experts," said Angel Horne from the Wildflower Center. "We have all sorts of different activities that are all centered around the ecology of Central Texas."

The event only happens on Thursdays in June, so there are only two Nature Nights left to attend.

Each week has a theme, and this week's theme is Life on the Prairie. Experts will talk about prairie ecosystems, the plants that grow there, the critters that live there and what prairie ecosystems do for Texas. 

The event is family-oriented, but open to all ages. 

Be sure to wear comfortable clothes, load up on sunscreen and bring bug spray. You can also bring snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, or you can purchase food and drinks from the café.
