Botanical Research Institute of Texas

Tracy and Christina are amazing leaders that helped facilitate learning on a higher level. BRIT boot camp is mind-​blowing. Wow!

BRIT is a crazy beautiful building both inside and out. I come here for meetings of the North Central Native Plant Society of Texas. BRIT along with the Fort Worth Botaincal Gardens are green splash of beauty in a already great town.

This review is only for their farmers market on Saturdays.
I went to our first farmers market at BRIT last Saturday. Yes, it was small but I feel that it is really important to support our local vendors whenever possible. We were able to buy some fresh organic zucchinis, tomatoes, and eggplants. They all turned out to be super fresh and delicious. We also got a delicious fig flavored balsamic vinegar from Terra Verde and two tasty jams from In a Pickle. We highly recommend the rum peaches and cream flavor. Our last stop was at Happy Tomato Fresh Salsa in which we got this amazing Very Verde salsa. It has just the right amount of spiciness.
Our trip was a success and we can’t wait to go back again.
Tip: It’s only on the first Saturday of every month until November.

If I could pick any place, based on beauty and coolness, to have a party, get married, graduation, reception, get killed, whatevs, it woud be this place. What an awesome venue. The mere pageantry of this building is something Fort Worth should be very proud of. We were here for Unilocal Secret garden, and this place aint a secret any longer. If you have never been here, get here. The living roof was awesome, and oh did I mention it’s looks, both inside and out. Come check it out, and appreciate the few wonderful things towns like Ft. Worth have to offer.

Thank you Kendall and all the vendors for such a wonderful event! I had a blast and discovered a bunch of new places and beverages. The facility was gorgeous and I was the Unilocal swags were awesome as well. Thank you!

BRIT is a beautiful institute located next to the Botanical Gardens of Fort Worth.
I had the chance to visit BRIT because I was invited to a party there.
Everyone who works there is very friendly and knowledgeable.
The architecture is beautiful and the information throughout the building is very interesting.
I cannot wait to visit BRIT during regular business hours. I am very excited about learning more about their research.

Awesome venue; I’m looking forward to the 1^st Saturday of every month for free family fun activities including themed science programs, story time and farmers market with a variety of fresh, seasonal produce from area farms and community gardens. botanical research Institute of Texas; who knew?!

I’ve lived here all my life, driven by a thousand times and didn’t know the B.R.I.T. was even there. I just wondered why they weren’t mowing that grass? Now I know. This is a great hidden secret. The building is beautiful and I love all the local art that’s displayed. If you’ve never been here before I strongly recommend checking it out

This place is gorgeous! I love the parking spots for carpools and fuel efficient vehicles. The cables they’ve installed to let the vines cover the building are beautiful. All the Black-​eyed Susans growing out front make me smile. Inside is beautiful with the huge staircase, floor to ceiling windows and tall ceilings. The small rooftop patio was cute with the plants and shaded areas. I could see wedding receptions being held here after getting married in one of the gardens next door!

Really beautiful and serene venue. I went to a Unilocal event here, and I’ve honestly never seen a building like this in Texas. I can’t wait to see what it’s like when the vines fully climb the walls! The plants on the rooftop are awesome! I think this would be a truly beautiful setting for a wedding reception :)

Gorgeous on the inside and out. Great for a date. I was here for a Unilocal event and had a fantastic time.

What a wonderful venue to have in our city. The upstairs terrace is breathtaking. The Unilocal event hosted by Kendall S. and Unilocal was so much fun. A great way to meet so many food vendors in our area. The extra entertainment was spot on. There was a fabulous magician/​deception specialist Sonu Varkey. Bravo!

I drive by this building all the time and never knew what it was! Went to a Unilocal event here and got to see the inside and learn all about what goes on at the BRIT. The building itself is gorgeous with floor to ceiling windows. Perfect venue for a wedding is what I kept thinking, as you’d have cover for weather, and the botanical gardens next door for guests. Cool place.

From the entrance of the property, I was greeted by beautiful floral arrangements and lovely greenery that surrounds the facility. BRIT has a really neat ambiance that you can feel while you walk around the grounds. As if it weren’t connected to the hustle and bustle of Fort Worth traffic on University, and the nearby freeway.
The lobbies, private rooms and even the staircase are enchanting; BRIT would be a wonderful location for meetings and or events of all occasions.
I really and pleased with, and love what BRIT does for the community, and look forward to seeing their work continue to prosper for years to come.

An absolutely gorgeous space both outside and in, BRIT is a must-​see for locals and tourists alike. Before I went in person, I looked up their website to see what this impressive homage to green living and environmental education is all about. They have a brilliant tagline ending their introductory description that says, «come visit our world to discover your world.» How lovely and captivating is that notion?
BRIT is right around the corner from the Botanic Gardens — a place I absolutely love to frequent. It’s pretty strange and silly that I never went to explore the research facility and beautiful venue space next door — not until recently. From the outside, the building appears simple but grand with tall windows in straight lines. It’s very angular and clean-​cut; a meticulously structured building set amongst an organic landscape. The lawns outside are huge and sprawling, and the rooftop is living — another lawn a few stories high!
The inside of BRIT is absolutely beautiful. The architecture is stunning — this would be a fantastic venue for a wedding or any event. Check out the pics here on Unilocal and on their website to see just how open, unique, and memorable the space is. They even have a little rooftop patio! There’s a grand staircase in the center that makes the space feel extra fancy and a bit whimsical, and all the natural light brightens everything beautifully.
BRIT’s mission is to conserve nature and to teach people how valuable plants are to our world, and they do this in a variety of ways: award winning research, classes for children and adults, events centered on their goal, farmer’s markets, volunteer opportunities, and their impressive collections and herbarium (which houses over 1 million plants… WHAT!). Whether or not you’re interested in learning exactly how and why our environment operates the way it does, hopefully all understand how important it is that so many people have dedicated their lives to doing so. We’re all of this earth! Come to BRIT to celebrate.
