Fort Worth Community Invited to Participate in Family Garden Focus Group

Fort Worth Botanic Garden with DEI Consultants and Terra Design Studios invite feedback on the future family garden, the first major implementation of the 20-year master plan.

“The family garden will be a beautiful, welcoming space for children and their adults to explore, discover and engage with nature, creating powerful emotional souvenirs in the process,” said FWBG President and CEO Patrick Newman. “While we near the final design stage, the family garden concept benefits greatly from focus group feedback, building upon the broader public engagement meetings held earlier this year. We want to hear what individuals and families would like to see and experience in this new garden addition.”

The public focus group will take place Nov. 15 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden Oak Hall, 3220 Botanic Garden Blvd., Fort Worth, Texas 76107. Parking is free and light refreshments will be provided. A supervised children’s area will be set up with art supplies and other materials for them to enjoy.

Due to space limitations, participants must sign up to secure a place in the focus group. Visit here

to register.

Incentives: The first 50 individuals to register will be offered a choice of a Garden family pass or a Lightscape Preview Night family pass (Nov. 16). All participants must be present the night of the event to receive the passes. Additionally, door prizes and other thank-you gifts will be offered the night of the focus group event.
