SpringFest at Woodward Park is a celebration of all things gardening. This event, held annually at the Teaching Garden and adjacent Arboretum, will have experts on hand to help you create a great garden that will be the envy of your neighbors and friends. A wide selection of plants and flowers will be available for purchase from local nurseries, as well as gardening tools and outdoor art.

Come out early and snag some breakfast before you shop, or purchase a yummy lunch and find a spot in the Arboretum to throw down a blanket and relax before completing your plant wish list. Then while you’re shopping, don’t forget the “Too Much to Carry” hospitality tent where you can leave your purchases with volunteers, go get your car, then pull up to the drive-thru area so the team can load you up with your newfound beauties. You’ll be back at home in no time to start playing in the dirt!

Some of the more popular returning plant vendors include Up With Trees, A New Leaf, Colebrook Nursery, Dotson’s Produce, Tobi’s Cacti & Succulents, Amanda’s Greenhouse, Across Generations, Chaos Cactus, McClain’s Flowers, Duck Creek Farms, and Southern Plant Farms, as well as newcomers Prairie Wind Nursery, Sun Hill Nursery, Tulsa Rare Plant Emporium, Euchee Butterfly Farm and Oklahoma Conservation Commission’s Yard by Yard program.
