Contractors are finishing work on the new Luci and Ian Family Garden at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.

The garden will feature several areas intended for play and the exploration of nature.

The project is named for Luci Baines Johnson and her husband, Ian Turpin. The center will open the garden to members May 3 and the public May 4.
