Over the last 90 years, the Fort Worth Botanic Garden has grown and evolved while consistently delighting guests. Photos from the Garden’s past show this evolution in progress while offering fascinating glimpses of people finding joy in nature.
Today, the Fort Worth Botanic Garden and the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) are a single organization, but that is a recent development. BRIT and the Garden combined forced in October 2020 after many decades of independent operation. However, the Garden and BRIT worked together for years before the merger. One aspect of that long-term partnership is preserved in specimens in the BRIT Herbarium that were collected in the Garden.
The Japanese Garden has a uniquely organic quality. It seems to have grown out of the landscape. This illusion is part of the garden’s magic, because the Japanese Garden was shaped by human hands.
During some of the darkest days in American history, Fort Worth workers created an urban oasis. Photos from the era capture construction from preparing the ground to welcoming guests.
