The $25 million Baker Martin Family Garden is expected to begin construction in mid-November, said Sara Richardson, the Fort Worth Botanic Garden’s vice president for advancement. A groundbreaking ceremony is set for Nov. 16.

If you’ve never been to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens, I would definitely recommend it.

This new addition is geared towards kids, but it sounds like what will be called the Baker Martin Family Garden will be a super cool place to visit once it is completed.

The garden is woven with teaching moments, enhancing the Fort Worth Botanic Garden’s philosophy of nature play, Richardson said.

The garden has a solar system theme, with Earth, Venus, Mercury and Mars exhibits featuring misters to cool people off and create rainbows that children can enjoy, Richardson said.

The last planet featured in the garden is Jupiter. The area around Jupiter will include a shade structure with musical instruments and play equipment that represent galaxies.

The garden also will include more terrestrial features, such as native Texas plants, a plateau and bodies of water.

“We have gone on missions to go out and find the plants that you would see at Big Bend,” Richardson said.
