April 2016 - A Very Important Month in the Fort Worth Botanic Garden

A

A few years ago John Tinsley, a Fort Worth Botanical Society Board Member, left his estate to the Society. He wanted to create and maintain a garden within the Fort Worth Botanic Garden in honor of his parents, Victor and Cleyone Tinsley. The Rock Springs area of the Garden, located along I-30, had existed in a “natural” state for many years. Old documents indicate that because of the springs and

ponds are stocked with fish whose ancestors swam in the waters of the 1860s.

The original rocks from an overlook were used in creating a replica that is accessible to people with disabilities, and accessible paths connect the upper portion of the garden to the lower area. A deck over the pond provides space for special events or for simply relaxing. In addition, a new event structure reminiscent of the lodges

the proximity of the Trinity River, Indians, explorers, and settlers had visited and camped in the area many years ago. The natural springs ceased flowing following the construction of the I-30 freeway.

Birds and animals had brought in invasive plants and the stones paths were difficult to navigate. Several large trees of historical interest, stone overlooks, ponds and a restroom built with Texas sandstone all occupied the area.

Restoration of this historical site was chosen for the Tinsley Project. Plans were drawn, contractors were hired, permits were received, and construction began.

Invasive plants and trees were removed.

Grottos replicating the springs were constructed. Streams with boulder-laden banks flow to the restored ponds. Those

of the Indians who visited there, are located adjacent to the historical restrooms.

The public dedication and grand opening for the Victor and Cleyone Tinsley Garden at Rock Springs is scheduled for April 22, 2016 and the public is invited.

That same weekend, April 23rd and 24th the Spring Festival in the Japanese Garden will be the “event” to attend. Held

every spring, this Festival celebrates all that is Japanese in our American culture. This is The Year of the Monkey. Rhythms of the Taiko Drummers will draw visitors through the winding paths to the Moon Viewing Deck where they will feel, hear, and see the group’s dramatic performances.

From sushi to hamburgers, green tea to colas, and of course plenty of water, the

Gardens Restaurant staff will keep you hydrated and your hunger abated. They will be serving food on the Pavilion in the Japanese Garden during the festival.

Watch demonstrations of throwing pottery, and check out the many beautiful pieces of art for sale from a variety of artists. Times for the Spring Festival in the Japanese Garden are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Located adjacent to the Japanese Garden, the Treasure Tree Gift Store features books, jewelry, bonsai, tools, and educational toys to help children and adults learn more about the Japanese Culture.

The Gardens Restaurant is located about half way between the Garden Center and the Japanese Garden. Its walls of windows give diners a panoramic view of the Garden. The historical Muriel Room places you in the center of the garden year round. The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.

It is also available in the evenings for private parties.

The Japanese Garden is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day of the week. Admission to the Japanese Garden is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, and $4 for children 4-12. Children 3 and under are free.

Festival admission is $8 for adults and $5 for children 4-12. Children 3 and under are free.

West is Among the Best for Culture and Shopping-and-Dining Delights

A

by Michael H. Price

As long as we’re “out where the West begins,” as an iconic figure in Fort Worth’s history described this Cowtown, then we might as well look even further westward within the city itself. Pioneering publisher and civic booster Amon Carter may have intended to give Dallas the razz when he coined that phrase — but the West hardly could have picked a keener starting point than Fort Worth.

And Fort Worth, in turn, hardly could have picked a site more right for its burgeoning west side Cultural District. Rippling with heavy-duty commercial, artistic and residential growth since the dawn of the 21st century, the west side overall has seen its very skyline change with the transformation of a busy West Seventh Street into a streamlined conduit connecting the downtown area’s Sundance Square development with the Cultural District. Heading west (naturally) from downtown Fort Worth, one finds the Cultural District radiating from the intersection where Seventh Street crosses University Drive and, in the process, morphs into the historic, brick-paved Camp Bowie Boulevard.

Visitors in search of western-style discoveries — from plain-and-fancy dining to fine art and varied entertainment — will find such delights in volume on the west side.

Cultural attractions, restaurants, mainstream and special-interest shopping, and lavish natural gardens flourish as a reminder of how Fort Worth has built upon its frontier origins. Several of the world’s finer museums, playhouses and galleries anchor a vast Cultural District. The hand-laid red-brick pavement of Camp Bowie Boulevard is an attraction in itself, lined with an everexpanding array of art galleries, stage-andscreen auditoriums, boutiques, scholarly museums, restaurants and lounges, and shopping malls.

The Cultural District The Fort Worth Museum of Science & History, commands the westward view of the district from Montgomery Street and just northward are additional cultural touchstones: An expanded and redesigned Amon Carter Museum of American Art, houses a definitive collection of American paintings, photography, and sculpture, from essential historic works by Charles M. Russell and Frederick Remington to a new acquisition of last-century Native American photography

by Edward S. Curtis. Near by is the Kimbell Art Museum still living up to Newsweek’s description as “arguably the most beautiful museum in America” including its new Renzo Piano Pavilion addition. The neighboring Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is the oldest such museum in Texas — housed in a work-of-art 2002 building designed by world-renowned Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, and featuring bold gallery exhibitions, concert attractions and, every weekend, leading-edge independent-studio films.

The Museum of Science & History, anchoring a campus within the Cultural District, has been designed by similarly renowned architects Ricardo and Victor Legorreta. Inside the Museum of Science & History, one finds vast galleries of Texas-bred dinosaur specimens and the state’s oil-and-gas heritage, in addition to the Cattle Raisers Museum, the Fort Worth Children’s Museum, Stars Café, and a new digital Noble Planetarium. The Omni Theater, an IMAX® superscreen dome, links with the Museum of Science & History and boasts a new digital sound system and enhanced lighting.The National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame is next door to the FMS&H. The NCM&HF honors women of the American West from those who have lived and worked on ranches

or who led an expedition, or sat before an easel, aimed a rifle and hit the bull’s eye, or sat on the Supreme Court.

When the museum meanderings trigger an appetite for fine dining, two long-established, museum-based cafés stand ready to serve. The Kimbell Buffet Restaurant offers indoor or patio lunch and a light evening menu within one of the most beautiful modern buildings in America. The Modern Art Museum’s 250-seat Café Modern, with an outdoor terrace, overlooks a serene reflecting pond. The Modern’s full-service kitchen delivers superb cuisine for lunch, Sunday brunch, and scheduled seasonal dinners.

The Great Outdoors offers breakfast subs, lunch and dinner subs, soups, salads and all natural ice cream. Off University on White Settlement Road, a Texas barbecue tradition reigns at Angelo’s, offering a half-century of first-class BBQ and ultra-chilled beer.

The Fort Worth Community Art Center, at the district’s western edge, showcases work by the city’s homegrown community of artists, in addition to live-theater venues.

Neighboring the museum community is the city’s landmark Will Rogers Memorial Center, a versatile 85-acre entertainment complex — with 45 acres housing the Will Rogers Coliseum & Auditorium. Its majestic Pioneer Tower dates from the Texas Centennial Celebration of 1936. Still the most imposing site within the district, the coliseum holds pride of place as the first domed structure of its kind in the world. The complex also boasts an equestrian center and exhibit halls, home to the annual Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.

Showplaces of Heritage and Artistry and Nature Shoppers can find a broad selection of merchandise in the Cultural District’s specialty shops. European antiques and upholstery can be found at Domain XCIV and the dh collection boasts progressive furniture designs in an appetite-whetting environment.

Southward off University Drive, visitors 8

can experience the glories of nature at Trinity Park, a pristine oasis bordered by a fork of the placid Trinity River. Here, picnickers, joggers, and strollers can explore meandering pathways or travel on a miniature railroad. Opposite the park, across University Drive, Fort Worth’s Botanic Garden beckons — the oldest such site in Texas, a lush 109-acre tapestry of dappled shade accented by vibrant splashes of color. The Garden is home to thousands of species of native and exotic plants in 21 specialty gardens. The European-designed Rose Garden features more than 3,400 roses,and the 10,000-square-foot Conservatory houses tropical flowers and foliage from around the world. An on-site Gardens Restaurant serves light lunches and refreshments — with a view of the Garden and a varied gallery that often displays the work of local artists. Adjacent to the Botanic Garden is the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) whose mission is to “reduce its footprint on the natural world as well as protect and restore ecosystem services.” BRIT’s building was designed as an example of how much of this can be accomplished.

A short distance southward lies the illustrious Fort Worth Zoo, nationally ranked among the finest. The Zoo is home to thousands of animals, both native and exotic.

Viewing facilities and natural habitat exhibits are set up for optimal views of the animals, often separated from their observers by only a river, a waterfall, or a large window.

Shaded rest spots and picnic tables are available, with several on-site eateries.

Across from the Zoo, Log Cabin Village offers another view of the city’s rich frontier history boasting seven authentic log homes, dating from the mid-to-late 1800s. Perioddressed interpreters greet visitors inside each cabin offering a living history of the home and its origin.

The mood to explore might be triggered by art, dining, shopping, or the wonders of nature. Fort Worth’s west side meets all these interests and then some!

Fort Worth CVB Fort Worth, a Westropolitan City

By Sarah Covington, Public Relations Manager, Fort Worth Convention & Visitors Bureau

After long being known as the City of Cowboys and Culture, Fort Worth has coined a new term – Westropolitan.

What is Westropolitan you ask? It’s where cowboy boots from Luskey’s and Manolo Blahniks from Neiman Marcus hit the pavement together. It’s where friendly bar hands pour you handcrafted cocktails at the retro-cool Usual Bar or a Rahr Ugly Pug at no-frills Lola’s rock-androll saloon.

Get to know the new Fort Worth. Sit back and chat with the locals at these five Westropolitan nightlife venues: 1 The Bearded Lady-Near Southside. This

handsome Craftsman-style bungalow in the funky Magnolia District is a beer drinker’s nirvana, stocking dozens of artisan brews, many of them produced by smaller operations throughout Texas.

2 Live Oak Music Lounge and Music HallNear Southside. One of the seminal concert venues in Fort Worth for catching indie rock, alt.country, rockabilly, and blues shows, and this thumping music hall on the eclectic Southside also has an expansive rooftop patio serving up outstanding skyline views and delicious Shiner Bock cheddar burgers.

3 Billy Bob’s Texas-Fort Worth Stockyards.

This Fort Worth institution bills itself the “world’s largest honky-tonk,” and at 127,000 square feet, it draws huge crowds and packs plenty of excitement.

4 Bass Performance Hall-Sundance Square.

This stately downtown performing arts center showcases a full slate of world-class music, dance, and theater. The 2,042-seat hall is home to such acclaimed companies as the Fort Worth Opera, Texas Ballet Theater, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, and Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

5 Coyote Drive-In Movie Theater-Panther Island. A modern-day drive-in movie theater beckons locals to enjoy newly released movies on one of three screens offering double features for just $6.

STOCKYARDS & Stockyards Station are unique places in Texas: an exciting blend of old and new.

The livestock industry began to develop here in the 1880s. There were cattle, sheep, and hog pens and horse and mule barns. The original wooden barns burned in 1911 and were replaced with concrete and steel buildings.

Stockyards Station is proudly dedicated to the preservation of the livestock industry. Evidence of that is the twice daily cattle drives at 11:30 a.m. & 4 p.m. Refurbished livestock pens and sheds, some with the original brick floors, now house 25 shops including restaurants offering everything from roasted suckling pig to enchiladas. This is also where you can go to Billy Bob’s, the world’s largest honky tonk, historic Cowtown Coliseum and the Livestock Exchange Building.
