April in the Fort Worth Botanic Garden

T

The Fort Worth Botanic Garden is home to the Japanese Garden, the semi-annual Plant Sale, the New Children’s Vegetable Garden, the Treasure Tree Gift Store, and the Gardens Restaurant.

Japanese Garden Everyone who visits the Garden will enjoy the beauty and serenity of a genuine Japanese Garden. Once there, you will experience Eastern Culture while learning the history of that ancient civilization.

Years ago the site of the Japanese Garden was a ravine used by a cavalry post as a depository for all its refuse. From that beginning, it has become the worldrenowned garden of traditional Japanese design that it is today. Many of the wooden structures found in the garden are projects designed by Al Komatsu and his architectural firm who also designed the Pearl Harbor Memorial. To maintain an official Japanese Garden design, the Fort Worth Botanical Society’s lead gardener has spent time in Japan studying under some of the most skilled garden masters of that country.

The Spring Festival in the Japanese Garden is where visitors can enjoy authentic Japanese entertainment, crafts, food,

music, martial arts, and bonsai demonstrations during the two-day event. Many other fun-filled family activities will also be available. The royal KOI fish are ready to feast on the fish food that guests toss

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 heavyduty 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 specialinterest 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-and-screen 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 6

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. Close by is the Kimbell Art Museum, itself preparing for an expansion and still living up to Newsweek’s description as “arguably the most beautiful museum in America.” 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 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.

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!

The multitalented Bernini was born in Naples in 1598 but Rome is home to many of his works where one finds angels and saints in cathedrals and fountains in public places produced by him and the sculptors he sometimes hired to assist him. As a piece was in development Bernini made models in clay of many of his ideas that would culminate in life-size works in marble or bronze. “Marked with impressions from the artist’s fingers and tools, these models give the viewer a sense of looking over Bernini’s shoulder as the sculptures were taking shape.” Forty-nine terracotta archetypes, most of them by Bernini, are on view along with 20 of his drawings including a self-portrait in colored chalk ca. 1625.

From the

Glen Rose CVB Book Lovers to Honor Glen Rose Native

By Billy Huckaby, Director, Glen Rose Convention & Visitors Bureau

One of the most iconic books written about Texas would have to be Goodbye to a River, written by Glen Rose native and resident, John Graves. Now Glen Rose has plans to honor John Graves with the Brazos Book Festival on May 18.

In 1957 Graves made a three-week canoe trip down the Brazos River from Possum Kingdom Dam to what is now Lake Granbury. Although working on assignment for Sports Illustrated, he wanted to enjoy the peace and solitude of the river, before a series of planned dams were constructed and in his view, the river damaged. The book became a classic, and earned Graves the title of, Texas Thoreau.

On Saturday, May 18, the folks in Glen Rose gather to celebrate books and John Graves. Activities planned include panel discussions about Graves, book publishing, and writing. The event will also be open to book dealers and authors to promote their books. Most of the activities will be on the Historic Courthouse Square in Glen Rose.

The first activity will take place Friday night, May 17, with a social event at Storiebook Café. The event will be an opportunity to meet authors and discuss books. Musical entertainment and refreshments are also planned for the evening.

Anyone wishing to be involved in the event should contact Tara Janszen with the Glen Rose Convention & Visitors Bureau. Her e-mail is tara@glenrosetexas. net and her telephone is 254-897-3081.

For more information on Glen Rose and the surrounding area, contact the Glen Rose Convention and Visitors Bureau at 1-888-346-6282 or check out their website at www.glenrosetexas.net.

Event information is also available on the website.
