Savannah Meadow at the Wildflower Center

The Savannah Meadow at the Wildflower Center is a sweeping native grassland accented by scattered trees, offering a serene glimpse into the Texas Hill Country. A quarter-mile trail encircles the meadow, inviting visitors to explore seasonal wildflowers and spot wildlife year-round. The meadow sits above karst formations, including a cave, that feeds the Edwards Aquifer. Highlights include majestic live oaks and an ephemeral creek that reveals its presence through recumbent grasses even when dry. Periodic prescribed burns enhance biodiversity, making this meadow a living showcase of nature’s resilience and seasonal change.
