AMAZING Botanical Garden in Fort Worth and an Orchid Conservatory
Вставка

- So my oldest daughter and I checked out this amazing botanical garden in Fort Worth, Texas just 2 weeks ago. It was a stunning show of color and the orchid conservatory was something out of this world, with its lush tropical plants and warm, humid environment. The landscape at the botanical garden was well maintained and beautiful. This is one of the nicest botanical gardens I've been to and if you're ever in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, you've got to check it out. As a last minute addition, we stopped by the Fort Worth stockyards to see the long horn cattle drive.

Lookes like a lovely place.😊
What a trip!! Best use of the internet is to share sights with those who might never see for themselves. Thank you!!
I didn't imagine I'd have been there but it was a spur of the moment decision. So glad I did it and glad I could bring it to you!
Agreed. Love it that Mike is so well balanced divine masculine.
I love that you and your daughter went there just the two of you! I would have loved doing stuff like that with my dad. It allows so much time to speak good healthy things into their lives one on one. I enjoyed doing that with my son but it was only day trips.
We have never done anything like this before and really couldn't afford it but my wife said I needed to do this and that Ally would never forget it. She had a piano concert to be at so we made a whole trip out of it. Glad we went!
@@MikeKincaid79 That is a precious investment in your daughter's life, Clearly Shelly has been through that when she was a kid. You will have to plan for Emily's time in a couple of years!
I'm in Houston Texas but was not aware of this gem in DFW. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Blessings to you and your family.
It would definitely be a fun trip for you. Don't forget to see the longhorn cattle drive at the end.
Same here
Really Neat! I especially enjoyed when your daughter ran ahead of you, as it showed she was catching your enthusiasm, for herself.
She sure did have a lot of fun on that trip.
Thanks Mike and Ali for the amazing tour of the botanical gardens.
You're welcome, Paul. Glad you enjoyed it. Plenty of Japanese maples there for you.
Beautiful botanical gardens Mike! Thank you for taking us along with Allie and yourself 🤗🤗❤️
I would like to have a green house tall enough for papaya, mango, moringa and citrus. A few orchids will not hurt and vanilla.
The colors on those cows.... beautiful! 🤗🤗
Allie grew up so much, she is turning into a young lady before our eyes 👀👀 God bless her and you all.
I know, could you imagine having something like this at your place and growing all these tropical trees in your yard! I'd be in heaven. I see Ally every day so it's hard to see the growth sometimes, but when I look at pictures, I can hardly believe how far they've come.
So true, I lived in Brazil for almost 2 years and saw some of those trees in real life. Beautiful! The fruits I ate there with the ones on the market.... have no comparison!
Yes, time flies and kids grow so fast, I can hardly believe I will turn 62 God willing. One of my friends from California passed away at 62 on 3rd of April. I know she is better and has no more pain and it's with her Lord that she loved all her life 🙏❤️
Enjoy your life and cherish your family and your God! Blessings 🙏❤️🤗
Hope you got to see the Dallas Botanical gardens while you were here.
Yep, sure did. Filmed that one too!
Looks like you two had a fantastic time! I’m envious of the bonding opportunity with your cub.
Daggum, that place looks well taken care of!
It was a great experience for us together. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Wow , what a beautiful botanical garden! I love orchids and the orchids wall is just amazing. Thank you Mike for sharing !
You're welcome, Selma! The orchids were amazing and I couldn't get over how they were all in bloom at the same time!
Traveling in the spring does amaze one when you experience a totally different plant zone that is radically warmer / colder / wetter / drier / higher / lower than your own. Even places close by can be amazingly different. I'm in a cold pocket that is higher in elevation than the surrounding area, and so my trees don't leaf out until about two weeks that the city just 25 minutes away does. Other zones also produce in gardeners what I call "zone envy" - that is, a jealously that people in another zone can grow things that you can't - or at least not without radical adaptations. I think most plant lovers lust to grow plants better adapted to locations two or three zones above or below them. Like, I'm in zone 7b, and would love to be able to grow fir trees like you have. I can grow blue spruce, but they won't get very big and I must baby them in the perfect spot. I REALLY want to grow paper birch, but know they won't survive long-term (ask me why I know, LOL).
I hear ya. I'm always dreaming about building an arboretum to create a tropical greenhouse environment and grow trees and plants that I otherwise couldn't. The grass is always greener on the other side.
Mike, I'm in the Southeast - in South Carolina. But several months ago, I was in snowy, frigid Massachusetts and went to a tropical butterfly garden with all kinds of equatorial plants - it was surreal to see that there and in winter. But the desert in CA is the most different place I've been in a long time - insanely dry and very warm (January), but with palm trees in places, but snowy mountains in the distance. And I've never seen any place with so many rocks.
FW resident here & very proud of our gardens. They do plant sales in the fall & spring, you might've just missed the spring one this year.
I really enjoyed our quick trip to Fort Worth. You live in a nice city with very friendly people.
Thanks again for sharing such a beautiful place. I love Dallas gardens more. Blessings to you, your lovely daughter and rest of your family. Namaste.
Very nice. Loved the maples, orchids, ferns, etc ,etc. It is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing the tour with us all. Very nice. 👍
You are so welcome, Darla!
What an amazing garden. These giant old trees are so cool. I like the green leaf Maples a lot too. Such refreshing early color, and not as visually heavy. That Great blue heron on the roof...a pterodactyl? Lol. You crack me up.
You said it perfect, "not as visually heavy". I think that's why I like them so much, and they are very refreshing in early spring. Sure looked like a pterodactyl flying over my head, lol.
Thanks for the tour Mike! We are already green in Northern California as well. The much needed rain this past winter really helped.
Yeah, you guys can use all the rain you can get. Last year in early May, we took a 2 week road trip down through California on 101. We were headed to Phoenix to see family. Our favorite part of Northern California was definitely the Avenue of the Giants. I'd been through there with my Dad and brother when I was 11 years old but didn't appreciate it as much then as I do now. I could definitely live in that area. My other favorite part of California was all the grape vineyards along 101 between San Francisco and San Louis Obispo. When we were going through there last year we couldn't believe how far ahead you guys were too, haha. It was still raining back home and cold. I'd definitely like to make that trip again in the future.
@@MikeKincaid79 LOVE the ave of the Giants! I spent alot of time on the 101 with my old job. Consider driving down the I5 and seeing a different world like Mt. Shasta and the Sierra /Cascade region. Lots of unique stops along the way. Just wait until the fall when it cools down for sure.
Thank you for the tour! It was awesome!
Welcome to Fort Worth. Your property is large enough you could do this ai your place. I really enjoy your channel.
Thanks Dan, it was a nice city with really friendly people and a beautiful garden. We even got to see the cattle drive!
Hi Mike, Now that's a nice place you went to. Good to see you get away from the stress, from the build . I have a million baby New England maple trees from the mother tree. I get them every year. I'll send you some if you want. Everyone around here taps them for the syrup. I like the shade they give myself. How's your house coming along, I hope the weather got better for you. Well, I'll be looking for your next video. Take care and good luck with the weather. Steve
I'm from Far North Dallas and we sometimes drive an hour to Fort Worth to visit this botanical garden,.
It's definitely worth the time. We also did the Dallas garden, but Fort Worth was our favorite.
Mike, I loved all the Chia pet animals 🐪and the sighting of a Texas pterodactyl (especially loved Ally's giggle when you said that), not something you see every day in my neck of the woods, lol! Ally will have great memories of this trip with her dad, and of the wonderful Botanical gardens you visited. Blessings to you and your sweet family, have a great weekend! ~Margie🤗👨👧🦜
Thanks Margie! We had a ton of fun and it was definitely a good bonding time. We were actually there for Ally to see here favorite pianist (Ludovico Einaudi). It was a great time with my daughter and we really enjoyed the concert. She's been playing the piano for about 2.5 years now and is really good at it. I've thought about having her play and recording the sound for my rhododendron tours.
@@MikeKincaid79 That is a wonderful idea, I can't wait to her play! 🎹🎶🎼🎵
Absolutely Beautiful ❤
It sure is, Rick!
Amazing place you visited with your daughter! The orchids were awesome. Hope you both had a great trip😊
We sure did!
Oh that was so amazing and fun to watch! Thank you 🙏❄️
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome gardens! Love the orchids! I have a green leaf Japanese maple in my yard that’s just starting to leaf out!
The green leaf Japanese maples are so graceful and unassuming. I love them!
Hey, beautiful place, here are some things you saw that I thought you might be interested in knowing about: the cardinal is thestate bird of my state North Carolina, and that was a blue heron, of which we have at the pond behind our house, we have those longhorns everywhere around here and I love them, and I have 3 of those old fashioned snowball bushes and they do get big, but I love them, wow that was quite a trip, I bet Allie didn't want to go back home to the cold weather, loved this one, it was fantastic, hope you guys had fun, love to you all💖👍❣️
Love to you too, Glenda! Yeah, we had a lot of fun there. It was really neat to see the different plants, trees, and animals they have down there in Texas. Beautiful area and the people were so friendly. The city was very clean, warm, and welcoming. It was a huge shock for both of us to get off the plane back home and be in 30 to 40 degree weather with sleet and rain. We already miss it.
glad you liked it out here!
We loved it! I was most amazed at how much further along your spring was and all the leafed out trees. It's still dipping below freezing here.
One day when the wisteria is in bloom you need to take your girls to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle and make sure to enter through the West gate. They have a massive wisteria that covers the whole gate area, It is breathtaking. The Greenhouse in Write Park in Tacoma is lovely too!
We went there when they were babies but it's been so long that I've forgotten what kind of flora they have growing there. We go to the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma more frequently because of the location, and we love it there. They have a ton of amazing plants and a huge rhododendron park. I do want to get back up to Seattle in the spring, as they have some nice gardens up there. I really wanted to see the cherry blossoms at UW this year but we're crunched for time right now. Isn't it funny that I had the time to go 2000 miles away to Dallas but not to go an hour north to Seattle, lol.
@@MikeKincaid79 That is how life works sometimes. Longview WA has lots of cherry blossoms on several streets. 20th southwest of Washington Way goes for at least a mile with cherry trees on both sides of the road. It's known to locals as pink snow season.
Thank you for this video. What a nice, beautiful flowers and trees. I pray and thanks God the the creator of heaven, earth, universe, and all good living things on earth...
They sure are beautiful!
Thanks for taking us along!! I'm with Ali, that cardinal was cool - you should do a topiary of one with your red rhodies lol. That stick work was really cool too.
I just made a quick trip to FL for a wedding and picked up two Vanda orchids and a pitcher plant. The humidity won't be high enough here for another week or two so I have to baby them and mist constantly until then.
It's so cool to visit other places and see what grows there and how the weather differs. Glad you got to take a trip to Florida!
Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing
No problem, John, we had a lot of fun down there.
Nice reprieve from the stress of building ☺ I've been MIA but all caught up now. I'm going to Texas this summer. I will try and check this place out. Tks for sharing 🤗
It was a nice break. We're back in action on the home again and will be posting a video about the framing when all that gets done. This garden is definitely worth the visit if you're in the area. If it helps make a decision, we liked this garden better than the Dallas garden, although both were nice.
Absolutely amazing, thank you for recording this its so nice to see such lovely places its cold and misty here devon Uk
No problem, Chaz. We have very similar weather where I'm at, just cold and drizzly all the time. It was a nice break to see all this beauty.
It is heavenly, thank you
You are very welcome, Fatima. Glad you enjoyed it.
That was a really nice trip. I really enjoyed that video. Thanks for sharing and have a great day 🌞😊🤗
It was a lot of fun. Glad you enjoyed it, Dorinda!
Thanks for sharing. Nice place to visit
Beautiful place! and you all really got some walking in.
We did a ton of walking in a short time but it was a lot of fun.
Welcome to Texas!
We loved your warm and welcoming state!
Hi Mike! Thank you for sharing! Such a beautiful place, but there's no place like home! I am going to take my grandson home in May, to Hawaii! Your video made me more excited about my trip. My son and wife know my love of plants, but probably not as much as you love plants!😊 They have plans to take me to different gardens and nurseries. I can hardly wait. They have 3 acres in Hawaii and just sent me pictures of orchids growing on their trees! I love the orchids in your video, but I would have to go much slower than you to check each orchid out! No one would want to go to the gardens with me because I'd take forever! Lol. I'm glad Allie shares your love of plants and glad you and Allie could make more special memories! Allie is really growing up fast and is beautiful. Thanks again for sharing your trip to the gardens. Best wishes on building your new home! 💜
Thanks Marcia and have fun on your trip! I've been to Oahu a couple times and love the tropical environment. I'd love to visit Kauai, as it's even more tropical and lush. Are you going to the big island?
Yes Mike, I will be visiting the big island. My son and family actually live in the rain forest. There are many different Palms on their property, 3000 plus! I am really looking forward to seeing their enormous ferns! The fronds are at least 15 feet long. They have different varieties of banana trees, mango, avocado, orange trees, coconut trees and more. They even grow their own pineapples and Dragon fruit. My son and family moved there in June, almost 2 years ago. We sure miss them, but we will be visiting them every year if our health is good. Because of our animals we can't go together, so I am taking my daughter with me. She homeschooled my grandson while he was here, so she deserves a vacation.💜🌴 They have a guest house, so that will save us a lot of money and we will be able to visit more often. My husband went last year because with his bladder cancer we thought he should visit first. Great news he is now cancer free, but he has a cancer that comes back eventually. He loved it there and wants to move. I don't like the heat, and I don't want to leave the rest of my family. I'm sure I will love all the plants and scenery, but just don't want to make the move. Take care Mike and please tell Shellie hi. Sorry, for such a long message. I haven't forgotten your Trilby Rhodedendron, just health issues have interfered. I will make it a point to get it to you after I get back from Hawaii. So sorry for such a long delay!! Best wishes to you and your family in building your dream home!!🌴💜
GREAT video and thank you for sharing 😊👍👍
Wow, I know this is to an older video but Willow is really easy to root!
Yes! It is.
WOW you were down here by me ! Yes both of the botanical gardens are spectacular but I prefer the one in Fort Worth.
Great to see you both having fun!
Oh wow! We loved your home state. The vibe is just different down there. People are proud of their city, take care of it, and everyone was super friendly. There seemed to be a massive American or Texas flag every 2 miles down the freeway. I loved it and it had a great feel. My daughter and I talked about it afterward and both agreed that the Fort Worth garden was the best. We both really liked the smaller country feel of Fort Worth but the whole DFW area was awesome!
@@MikeKincaid79 Yes FW has a small town feel and Dallas has the big city vibe happening. I am lucky to live a bit south of Dallas in a smaller town.
Wonderful, thank you
Thats my favorite part of going to different state and check out the plants. Im from MN. Utah and NC for instance are very different
It certainly is fun to see the variety. Never been to MN or NC but I fell in love with Utah when we drove through there last spring.
Awesome 👍
Nice place !!!!!!!! ....
❤❤Oh😮 my goodness this is what I call God's beauty creations.
I'm in Oklahoma , this is beautiful!
Thank you for your time,of the show case of Texas".**🦋
It sure was beautiful! We loved your neck of the woods. Are you down in southern Oklahoma and close to Dallas?
@@MikeKincaid79 Hey Y'all to answer your question no closer to
Broken Arrow, Bartlesville, more North of the state of Okla.
Love you info. from there to our neck of the woods Tulsa, Okla.
Priscilla Happy Spring 🌼
Mike and Allie, great job with the video. Is this your first-time filming out in public, I know it's not easy to do. Hint, the teamwork helps make it. Only thing they got that you don't, hint again, sculpture and garden art. Can't wait to see your next visit to an arboretum, botanic garden or some old estate garden now turned public. I always enjoy another tour of 'The Mike Kincaid Arboretum', It's got the best rhododendron collection I've seen.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I've filmed out in public a few times but not too much. I've thought about filming more gardens like this, and yes, I'll definitely be filming a tour of our rhododendrons this year again.
nice tour
btw
i can't see your videos in my subscriptions page anymore no idea why
yet i keep visit your channel from time to time
You're welcome back to Dallas anytime Mike lol. Glad y'all had such a good trip. And one of those oak trees I think one where you're like look at these oaks I believe it was post oak tree. And the one that was growing crazy I'm guessing was a live oak but I may be wrong.
They had a sign on the first one but the second I wasn't sure about. That garden was really cool. You guys should get there to see it. Going back through the footage made me want to go back down to Dallas. Good to know we're welcome in the great state. Ally and I had a ton of fun hanging out with you guys and your kids. I mean it when I say that part of the trip made us feel very welcome completed the whole trip. Ally still talks about how cute Shiloh is, lol.
@@MikeKincaid79 I've been to both of the botanical gardens are really cool. I haven't been to the stockyard tho lol I wonder how many people that live here never gone to it. We all had a blast when y'all were down. All three of them were happy to see Ally when she first popped up on the video. Shyloh was like I know her.
Sooooo glad you enjoyed yourself down in our part of the world. I like the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens more than the Dallas Arboretum. They are both pretty, I find the FW gardens more relaxing & laidback, the atmosphere in Dallas feels a little stuffy. But I love Fort Worth & there's always been a rivalry between the two cities. I live between both, about 7 minutes West of DFW. Did you happen to get recognized while you were here? We hope you visit again, soon.
I loved your area, David. Full of friendly people who are obviously proud of their city. It was so clean and inviting down there and we loved the weather. We were staying at the Hyatt Place DFW, so probably pretty close to you. Ally and I agreed that we liked Fort Worth better. Like you said, it was more laid back and had a smaller town feel. If anyone recognized me, they didn't say, haha. I've had a few experiences where people recognized me over the years but not this time. Once, I was down in Oregon with my family and we were at a nursery. I started talking with one of the ladies that worked there and we must have talked for 10 minutes before her whole face expression changed and she realized it was me, hahaha. That was a fun experience. Anyway, loved your neck of the woods.
@@MikeKincaid79, if you ever decide to visit L.A.(lower Alabama, lol) give me ample notice, I'll meet you at the airport & you can wander the homestead, till your hearts content. You can't imagine what grows wild out there that would cost an arm & a leg at the gardening stores. If you see something you want we'll dig it up or take cuttings, pack it up & ship back to Washington. BUT, if you thought DFW was hot, I recommend early Spring or late Fall. Even I try to bypass July/August. Cheers 🍻
Creat some bonds in your garden..uplifting
Welcome to the south, we have chicks in the nest near feathered out . and my garden is already in and a foot tall or more.
Man, Scott, I was amazed! I really wanted to come see you but it just didn't work out this time. We went down for a piano concert for Ally and did as much as we could in a 2 day span. I originally planned it as a road trip and was going to come back up through Arkansas but Shellie vetoed that one since it would take 2 weeks or more.......and then there's the house build, lol. I couldn't believe how far ahead Dallas was in their spring. That was the one thing that amazed me the whole time. I just kept thinking, I can't compete with this, lol. I'm not kidding when I say that the season was 2 months ahead of us.
@@MikeKincaid79
No worries. plenty of days
What is that place they call, Stitch Work? Is it saplings that they weave broken branches around? We still have snow here in northren Minnesota. I wish it looked like that here. Makes me want to move.
Haha, I get it, made me want to move too. I keep in mind that it'll be blistering hot in the summer and they'll be fighting for water down there, lol.
❤️🌼🏵️🌸🌺🌷🌹💐🌺🌻🐝🐞
You did take a fig cutting right lol
Haha, man I thought about it. The tree was so pristine. I didn’t feel right cutting a branch off, lol.
@@MikeKincaid79 lol
Actually it’s called the Dallas Arboretum. 🤭
There's one in fort Worth and there's one in Dallas . I've been to both.
“This place is two months ahead,” but we’re also two months hotter and have a head start on bugs! 😅 “Man I’m jealous! I cannot compete with this.” Don’t be jealous, our veg plants fry in the sun, some won’t grow, tomatoes stop pollinating, and a good portion of my tomatoes have had mosquito bites. You don’t see the down side at those gardens.
I suppose you're right. I saw it all at the best time of year in the spring.
The Botanical Gardens are so pretty. I liked the video!! 🙂😁
Next time you’re coming along!
That was a nice surprise ,I didn't expect to see this until after the house was done. You say they're a few months ahead of you and we were one week in to nice weather then had the blizzard of a lifetime ,lasted almost 3 days I was not impressed So seeing all the flowers and trees was a nice treat I thought maybe some butterflies inside the greenhouse Wouldn't you love to have a greenhouse like that one filled with all those orchids and other tropical plants I'd be in my glory 🏵️🪷🌺🌳🌴. 🇨🇦🦩
It would be truly amazing to have something like this on my property. All comes down to money. Love the butterfly idea.
