EDUCATION
| The mission of the Fort Worth Botanic Garden is enriching people's lives through education and environmental stewardship. In keeping with this mission, the Garden's education department offers a variety of programs for children and adults. These programs offer the opportunity to explore the Garden either with an experienced guide, on your own, or to attend one of the many classes offered onsite. All our school programs are written to TEKS and TAKS objectives. |
