Tulsa Botanic Garden
Once spring launches and the flowers are in full bloom, head to Tulsa Botanic Garden for a peaceful walk through stunning greenery, exotic plants and colorful landscapes.
Venture along the Lakeside Promenade to reach the A.R. & Marylouise Tandy Floral Terraces, which hold more than 8,000 trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, roses and perennials. Take a look at the Garden Cascade which moves water from the top of this hillside garden back to the 7-acre lake. Surrounding the Garden Cascade each spring are over 50,000 tulips and daffodils which are replaced by colorful, tropical annuals for a summer color display. Lilies, roses, irises, peonies and a plethora of flowering perennials ensure there’s always something in bloom.
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 one-of-a-kind Spring Giant with musical instruments and an art wall for painting. The Tree Fort provides a great look at the tree's canopy as well as the entire garden below. Be sure to look for the Bog Bowls near the Round Pond to see carnivorous plants.
Opened in 2023, the Bumgarner Family Foundation Lotus Pool offers a circular walk around water fountains, overlooks and floating garden beds and water lilies, lotus and other aquatic plants. The adjoining Stanford Family Liberty Garden is built on a peninsula and offers panoramic views across the lake and Lotus Pool.
Up for a hike? Grab a map in the visitor center to head to the 1.5 mile nature trail. This loop trail winds through native prairie and Cross Timbers offering a rich diversity of native plants and wildlife, including great opportunities for birdwatching and photography.
