Pineywoods Native Plant Center

Rescue. Research. Reintroduction.

The 42-acre Pineywoods Native Plant Center is dedicated to the collection, conservation and propagation of endangered or near-endangered plants native to East Texas. 

Open to the public, the entrance is located at 2900 Raguet Street. The center features a variety of resources, including:

• the two-mile Tucker Woods Trail, which winds through the center’s old-growth forest and horticulture demonstration garden
• the two-story historic Tucker House, the “crown jewel” of the Pineywoods Native Plant Center, which was built in 1941 and is used for a variety of community programs
• the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Demonstration Garden, which features six unique native plant communities
• and the Brundrett Conservation Education Building, which provides education programs designed to raise awareness of conservation, ecology and endangered plants.
