Nature needs us as much as we need nature!
120 acres. 23 gardens. One 1.5-million-specimen herbarium where scientists are still discovering species no one's ever named. This is Texas's oldest botanic garden and it's just getting started. We steward a natural gem in the heart of the city, study plants, protect what's rare, and help people fall in love with nature again. It’s the reason 21,000 learners of all ages a year get to touch real nature and science instead of just reading about it. A healthier, greener world starts right here in Fort Worth.
Give today and your gift is matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000. That's more field trips to inspire future botanists and environmental advocates. More rare species documented in Texas. The Garden can’t run on beauty alone; we need your support to ensure these programs keep going.
