Field Trip Fort Worth Botanical Gardens

 Here is their link:  https://fwbg.org/

We ended up buying a membership, so we can go all year without paying for tickets.  It was $95 for a family membership.  For individual tickets, it's cheaper if you buy them online rather than at the ticket counter.  Because it was spring break, the ticket counter line was a mile long.  Once you get inside the gardens, everyone disperses and it's not so crowded. 

There are tulips everywhere and they're gorgeous.  The gardens also include a huge field of yellow daffodils.  I noticed statues everywhere that must be new.  We haven't been to the gardens since 2019 and I'm sure the statues were not there then. 

We spent about an hour just in the Japanese garden, which includes traditional Japanese structures, a waterfall, a koi pond, sand art, cherry blossoms and little bridges.  A gift shop sits at the gate of the Japanese garden.  

We were not able to see the northern half of the botanical gardens, because we ran out of time.  We're planning to go back in April and May.  I'm glad we bought the membership.
