Japanese Garden - Transient/Bittersweet Beauty
he Fort Worth Japanese Garden was completed in 1973. It is a traditional stroll garden
with winding paths through the landscapes and around ponds. The Garden consists of 7.5
acres filled with cherry trees, Japanese maples, magnolias, bamboo, bridges, and ponds
which are home to over 1,200 Koi fish. Except in the spring, there are few flowers
blooming in the Japanese Garden due to the Japanese practice of Mono no Aware. Mono
no Aware translates to “transient/bittersweet beauty”, meaning if the garden was always
blooming, it would never be special. Wedding tours of the Japanese Garden are available
by appointment (817-463-4182).Festivals are hosted in the spring and fall in the Japanese Garden.

Tandy Hills Natural Area - A 160 Acre Indigenous Prairie
Tandy Hills Natural Area (THNA) is a 200+-acre indigenous remnant of Fort Worth prairie
located in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas. The land was obtained by the City of Fort Worth
Parks and Community Services Department in 1960 and designated a "natural area" in 1987.
Noted for its unusually complete collection of prairie flora, THNA contains more than
1500 species. The show of spring wildflowers is unsurpassed in the Metroplex. The land is
a living example of how most of Fort Worth and the Great Plains appeared in predevelopment
times. THNA is adjacent to I-30 and less than 5 minutes from downtown Fort Worth, Texas.
The fact that it has never been plowed or developed and survived into the 21st century in
relatively pristine condition is remarkable.

Stockyards National Historic District - Step into the West
Fort Worth is where the West begins, and nothing embodies Western heritage better than
the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. From the original brick walkways
to the wooden corrals, every inch of the Stockyards tells the true history of Texas's

in 1876, Fort Worth became a major shipping point for livestock, so the city built the
