It was a beautiful day to visit the Tulsa Gardrn Center/Woodard Gardens/The Teaching Garden. Beautifully landscaped in so many interesting and inspiring ways, with intoxicating colors and scents beckoning around every turn. I loved watching the honey bees darting in and out of the blossoms on this catnip. (See attached photos) I wish the photos had been clearer. As it was, they stayed only a fraction of a second on each bloom before zipping off to the next. Add to that, my screen was in full sun, so for all intents and purposes, I was taking photos blind. Most of the park’s rose garden was destroyed by either a pest or virus - I didn’t get a clear understanding of which. But, the roses that remained were even more lovely for not needing to compete. Even with the few plants that remained, the scent was so sweet. The koi pond was perfect. The sounds of the various waterfalls was such a relaxing background to this part of the garden. Visitors can even feed the koi, many of which are quite large.

Small intimate garden, impeccably maintained with lots of great ideas for your home garden. In addition to beautiful landscaping, there is also a veggie garden, an herb garden, koi pond, butterfly garden and greenhouse.

If you're in the area and want to take great photos, this is the place. Peaceful, pretty, easily walkable. Lots of dogs playing :)

This is a special place near the Tulsa Garden Center. It is designed as you walk through it to learn about different plants and combinations that would grow well in the Tulsa environment. You can learn from the well designed spaces about plans you might have for your garden.

This is a wonderful place for it's beauty and learning. This is truely a gem of Tulsa, and we are very lucky to have the ability to visit.
