You can add up to 2 named adults and children with a Family to Affiliate level membership if they haven’t been previously added. If names are already on the account, then the names cannot be changed while the membership is active.

As long as children 18 and under are visiting with one of the primary members on a Family to Affiliate level membership, they will not need a membership card to gain entry into the Garden. Please note children 15 and under require adult supervision. All children under 5 years old will be free regardless of membership.

Digital guest passes are one-time use digital passes that can be redeemed at the admissions desk. These guest passes provide admission into the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, including the Japanese Garden. The number of digital guest passes provided on a membership varies by membership level.

The Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) is a 501(c)(3) organization with tax-exempt status.

Memberships are partially tax-deductible at Supporter, Patron and Affiliate-level memberships. For Access to Affiliate, goods or services valued at $100.00 have been provided. The amount of the membership contribution in excess of the value of goods and services received is tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

If considering a grant from donor-advised funds to cover annual membership fees, a donor may either waive all tangible benefits or use a personal source to pay the entire membership value. Please consult your donor-advised fund manager, tax advisors, and/or legal counsel. 

Some other garden memberships provide admission to the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens, but no discounts on events, gift shops, invites and other Fort Worth Botanic Garden member benefits apply.

The Fort Worth Public Library offers passes to allow library users to visit the Fort Worth Botanic Garden at no charge. The passes can be checked out from a library for one week of free admission for two adults with children 17 and younger that reside in the same household. Contact your local Fort Worth Library for more information.

After April 1, 2019 a separate membership to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden and BRIT is necessary to gain Garden and BRIT benefits. If you want more information about your Society membership, contact the Fort Worth Botanical Society office at (817) 392-5548.
