The Backyard Vegetable Garden is a working garden featuring vegetable beds, fruit trees, and a greenhouse, used for children’s programs such as Little Sprouts. Fort Worth Botanic Garden (FWBG) has partnered with Union Gospel Mission of Tarrant County (UGM-TC) to boost urban agriculture, food security, and community education.

Horticulture staff predict the garden will yield thousands of pounds of produce throughout the year for UGM-TC’s soup kitchen. Tarrant County Master Gardeners help with the garden’s daily upkeep.
