Fort Worth Botanic Garden

Enjoy the captivating beauty of Fort Worth Botanic Garden (FWBG), one of the largest centers for botanical exploration and discovery in the United States.

Located in the heart of the Fort Worth Cultural District and just minutes from downtown, our 120-acre campus offers stunning garden views, horticultural displays, exciting exhibits, gift shops, a café and more. Fort Worth Botanic Garden was established in 1934 and is the oldest major botanic garden in Texas. It contains a collection of more than 2,500 species of plants. Long celebrated for its beautiful rose, perennial and Japanese gardens, FWBG is composed of twenty-three specialty gardens, including a tropical conservatory, a forest boardwalk, and a water conservation garden. Spend the day strolling through the Japanese Garden with its koi-filled pools, landscaped hillsides, crafted stonework and dramatic waterfalls. Nearby, visit the iconic and historic Rose Garden, which includes a terraced ramp featuring walks that border colorful rose beds amidst a cascade of water down the center.

Weather: Our event will take place light rain or shine; if it’s on our calendar then we’re proceeding as planned.

Meeting Point: 9:00 am in the "Garden Center” next to the Main Entrance of the Fort Worth Botanic Garden: 3220 Botanic Garden Boulevard - Fort Worth. Look for your hosts Robert (wearing a fedora-style hat) and Michele (also wearing a hat) along with a group of friendly people. We’ll depart for our walk at 9:15 am.

Icebreaker Introductions: We should have a good-sized group and so instead of everyone introducing themselves to the group we will get to know each other by distributing blank stickers and colored markers and we’ll ask everyone to write down on their sticker: 1). first name. 2). favorite food. 3). dream vacation. Example: “Michele - Strawberries - Kenya” or “Robert - Chocolate - Tokyo”.

Walking Distance: approximately 1-2 miles over approximately 60-90 minutes.
