Always bring your visiting relatives here, there's a nearby playground and Woodward park is just a nice part of Tulsa. The garden itself is really quite large and the volunteer staff are very friendly.

If someone was looking to propose or get married, this would be the place! The only sounds you will hear in this place are squirrels and birds. It is incredibly serene and bursting with color. This place was created by, and currently maintained by, volunteers. The more than 10,000 plants were donated by local nurseries. There are several volunteers available... More

It was a work day when we went. Lots of people working on the beds. Very nicely kept, pretty small but has a number of interesting gardens. Stopped in the education center, very friendly volunteers. Nice if you have a free hour to walk around. Roses were not blooming yet, would think it would have been beautiful.

So beautiful that my husband proposed here! It is peaceful--you forget how close busy streets. A wonderful place to relax and great photo opportunities!

I have walked through this garden area a hundred plus times. The volunteers change the plantings and enhance what you can learn about gardening in the hot Oklahoma summer. It is worth the time if you are Philbrook.

This garden is not just for teaching but for anyone to enjoy. It is totally accessible for persons with wheelchairs/disabilities. There is a small patio under a huge shade tree overhanging the Koi pond; Several smaller areas make up this garden. Great place to sit and unwind within beautiful Woodward Park

It's not that big but quite nice. They don't charge even for the glass house (where you can see f.e. good collection of orchids).

I enjoyed this place. I got some great inspiration and ideas for my own gardens by coming here. Well maintained. If you love gardening, botany or just want a peaceful stroll through a well-planned nicely landscaped garden, this is the place for you. It is right by the Tulsa Garden Center and Woodward Park. Those are both nice walks as... More

The design of the vintage vegetable garden and demonstration areas gave me lots of ideas for my own garden. It's small, but packed with wonderful stuff. There is also a huge rose garden and a small but well-marked arboretum nearby.
