The Fort Worth Botanic Garden has been an important greenspace in the increasingly urban landscape of downtown Fort Worth since its opening in 1934. The Garden is within the historic floodplain of the Clear Fork of the Trinity River in the Fort Worth Prairie physiographic region. This region is characterized by limestone geological features and was once dominated by vast grasslands. The Fort Worth Prairie is part of the tallgrass prairie, the most endangered ecosystem in North America, and is a major focus of both our living and preserved collections as well as our research and education initiatives.
