This item was discussed at our May 9th meeting. It was determined the Board needed a little bit more
information about the garden hours to plan an event. Wilda has researched and determined that the
hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. seven days a week. The garden is located near the
campus of TCC just off Campus Drive in Fort Worth. As many as are interested could meet at City
Hall (or another location) and car pool. The Board just needs to determine when you would like to
schedule this event.
