Science Saturdays at BRIT:

Our botanists are on hand to answer questions and to identify those mysterious plants that grow in the backyards of Tarrant and Dallas counties that prompt homeowners to ask, “What the heck is this?”
Plant Preservation Studio – open for visitors to meet a BRIT botanist and learn about our plant collection.
Plant Walks and Talks: There are many beautiful trees, wildflowers, and grasses growing on the BRIT landscape. Our BRIT botanists and naturalists will share information about these plants and why they are here. We will beat the heat by having the program indoors and outdoors.
Bella's Story Time 10:30-11:30 a.m.: Join Bella for reading and exploratory activities in the Burk Children's Library and the Tree House at BRIT! “Bella” is the host of BRIT’s family story times. Bella's Story Time takes place on the first Tuesday and first Saturday mornings of each month. These hour-long programs are designed for preschool-development levels and their adult partners.
March 2, April 6, May 4: Join us on our Plant Walk with Dr. Bascopé as we return the voice of Native Americans back to the Texas Prairie. We will learn about plants that were in use years (and even centuries!) before Europeans were here. This walk includes the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens and their use of the local terrain.
You will need to either drive your car or ride with another participant to get to a meet-up spot in the gardens half way through the talk.
