Today, to get away from the STRESS of my job, I took my lunch and my journal and went to the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens.
This place is incredibly beautiful. There are different area like the Rose Garden, Fragrance Garden, Japanese Garden and more to enjoy. There are charming water areas, picnic areas and benches for sitting and watching people.
The best thing about the FW Botanic Gardens is that they are FREE!!
I say check it out!

The Japanese Gardens in Fort Worth are such a beautiful and peaceful place. We take my daughter there to look at the flowers and just enjoy a Spring day. It is such a treat and a great family experience. My daughter's favorite part is (of coarse) the fish. As stated above, it is an amazing family day activity in a place where you can enjoy nature at its finest.

A little piece of Heaven. I love to come here with a picnic lunch and spend a couple of hours just relaxing in the shade. The ground are well manicured and maintained. You honestly forget that you are in Downtown Ft.Worth.
This is a Fabulous place for Weddings as Well. Don't be surprised during the spring if you see a Bride in all her wedding regala slipping in and out amongst the Rose Gardens.

Bring your camera and grab some great photos. Every area has great colors and is so peaceful.
Don't forget the Japenese Garden ($3), it is beautiful- especially in the fall!

Although you have to pay a small amount to get in, these gardens are well worth it. With the flowers blooming all around you, its a perfect place to take an afternoon stroll. You can feed the fish and enjoy the calming sound of water as it flows all around you.

The Japanese gardens are what bumps the FW botanic gardens from a 3 star to a 4 star. It costs $3 per person to get in, but it is worth it. It's spectacular, with paths wending in all directions, a huge zen garden, and vending machines that sell fish food to feed the koi. On a nice day it would be a great place to bring a book and just relax in the shade.
You can see the rest of the gardens without charge. My son and I frequently drive down to spend an hour or two putting our toes in the grass. The rose garden has a pond and a man-made little waterfall that trickles down the hill, the perfect place to hang out and meet other families.
The restaurant isn't very good, though, it's much better to pack your own picnic. The bathrooms are kind of gross. Parking is also a little difficult. Most days you have to wend your way through to the back lot and then walk back into the gardens.
I go to the gardens frequently because it's close and I feel like my son needs as much time outside as he can get, but I have seen better gardens. Overall worth a visit, though.

Need to relax? take a stroll in the Japanese Gardens in Fort Worth. Not only do they have beautiful fauna in their garden, they also have koi ponds where you can buy koi food for .25 and feed them. The place also has lots of butterflies flying about to give you an even more serene feeling.

The Japanese tea gardens are just gorgeous, and the price of admission is very affordable. One of the nicest attractions is that there are several Koi goldfish ponds, and you can buy food for a quarter and feed the fish. They're very outgoing fish and will come very close to get to the food. Sometimes, even turtles will come to eat. Also, the tea gardens have a tea house, which shows what a tea ceremony looks like and can be reserved for weddings or special events. Their gift shop is very affordable and is full of interesting and unique things. There are several low-priced souvenirs for children, as well as items like silk kimonos and gardening books and tools.
