Once spring fully launches and the flowers are in full bloom, head to Tulsa Botanic Garden for a peaceful venture through stunning greenery, exotic plants and colorful landscapes. Catch beautiful views of the gardens' surrounding lake as you enjoy the roses and other flowers dotting the Tulsa Botanic Garden.
Venture through the Lakeside Promenade, a floral panorama the changes throughout the year, to reach the A.R. & Marylouise Tandy Floral Terraces. Here, find more than 8,000 trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, roses and perennials. Take a look at the six-foot wide Garden Cascade surrounded by more than 100,000 bulbs, one of the largest spring bulb displays in the Tulsa area.
Visit throughout the year for seasonal color display beds and four terraces within the garden. You can also explore the adjoining one-mile Cross Timbers Trail at the top of the A.R. & Marylouise Tandy Floral Terraces to get in a peaceful walk through the Persimmon Grove trees. Take a seat on many of the strategically placed benches to take in scenic views.
Bring the kids and your camera and wander through the gorgeous greenery of the Tulsa Botanic Garden. The Children's Discovery Garden is wonderful for the young and young-at-heart. This two-acre wonderland garden offers hands-on fun from a sensory walk with plants to touch and smell, to the spring giant with musical instruments and an art wall for painting. Larger-than-life insect whirligigs in the Meadow can "fly" with the turn of a wheel and the Tree Fort provides a great look at the tree's canopy as well as the entire garden below.
Take in refreshing floral arrangements and decorative greenery when rain showers yield to springtime flowers. Travel to a lesser known Oklahoma garden or arboretum for a peaceful afternoon spent with nature.
