Green Source Awards in Fort Worth

The 11th annual green awards gala, hosted by Green Source DFW and its parent nonprofit the Memnosyne Institute, will be held from 2 to 4 p.m., December 4, at a new venue—the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, instead of the Dallas Arboretum. This 110-acre city-owned park is oldest botanic garden in the state.

The Botanic Garden is located next door to an internationally recognized “plant museum”, the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, which took over management of the Garden in 2020. Attendees can also purchase tickets to Lightscape, an outdoor holiday exhibit featuring a one-mile illuminated path winding through the Garden.

Tickets are $25 or $35 with a tour of the garden. Lightscape is $18 to $28. Location: 3220 Botanic Garden Blvd., Fort Worth. For more information, call Green Source DFW editor Julie Thibodeaux at 817-732-0722 or email [email protected].
