My, How We Have GROWN Since 1934!
The Fort Worth Botanic Garden, Texas’ oldest botanic garden, is turning 90 and you’re invited to join us for a free admission day on our official birthday, Wednesday, December 18! It’s the perfect opportunity to experience the beauty of nature and the rich history of FWBG.
What You Can Expect:
- Enjoy complimentary admission to FWBG and stroll through our twenty-three specialty gardens, from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
- Nothing Bundt Cakes will be helping us celebrate by selling bundtlets from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., with free samples to share.
- Make and take a pinecone birdseed “ornament” that harkens back to the FWBG Birds’ Christmas Tree tradition that began in December 1935.
A Legacy Rooted in History
The Fort Worth Botanic Garden was established in December 1934 when the city’s board of park commissioners renamed a 37.5-acre area known as Rock Springs Park. Spring-fed pools, cascading waterfalls, and a newly constructed Rose Garden were the seeds of what would become one of Fort Worth’s most cherished attractions.
Cultivating Memories for Generations
For nearly a century, we’ve been honored to be a part of Fort Worth families’ most cherished moments. From picnics and proposals to weddings and family outings, the Garden has provided a beautiful backdrop for countless memories.
Help Us Bloom for Another 90 Years!
Consider giving the gift of membership to someone special during the holidays or a donation to ensure the Fort Worth Botanic Garden continues to flourish for generations to come. Together, we can cultivate a legacy that will bloom for the next 90 years and beyond!
“As we celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, we reflect on the rich history, enduring beauty, and profound impact this sanctuary has had on our community,” said Patrick Newman, President and CEO. “From its humble beginnings to its status as a beloved landmark, the garden stands as a testament to our commitment to nature, education, and sustainable living. As CEO, I am proud to be part of this milestone and look forward to the continued growth and prosperity of this treasured institution.”
