Fort Worth’s Botanic Garden is in full defense mode as a deep freeze threatens over 100 acres of plants this weekend. Staff are hustling to cover sensitive blooms and winter greens with frost cloth, and even giving new plantings a big drink of water to protect their roots.

While that’s unlikely here, the dramatic weather swings are a real challenge. Anyone else prepping their yard for the cold? Share your tips or worries below! #Home #FortWorth #DeepFreeze
