The Prairie Experience in the gala event of the year. There will be live entertainment, a beautiful dinner, a silent auction, a live auction, a raffle, and a game or two. As the major fundraiser of the year, it is essential in keeping our programs free for the community and the surrounding areas.

The botanical gardens and Legacy Plaza have hosted and sponsored events in collaboration with the Jennie Trent Dew Library, the Mills County Historical Museum, Texas Parks and Wildlife, USDA, Boy Scouts of America, and several active local wildlife conservancy groups. All of the proceeds from the Prairie Experience go to support each of the activities, classes, and events held at Legacy Plaza’s Texas Botanical Gardens, Pavilion, Welcome Center, and Outdoor Classroom.
