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. If you would like to share photos of some of your favorite FWBG moments with us, please send them to www.marketing@fwbg.org. 

Help Us Bloom for Another 90 Years! 

Consider giving the gift of membership 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.”
