KUDOS OF THE MONTH: Tulsa Garden Center
TULSA GARDEN CENTER
The Tulsa Garden Center has become a very important educational resource for the community since its establishment in 1954. Tucked away among the trees of historic Woodward Park, the property tells the story of a prominent home and treasured garden that today, is enjoyed by all.
The home features almost completely original elements, a collection of photographs showcasing its history as well as one of the most impressive horticultural libraries in the nation. The library includes over 5,000 books focusing on landscaping, botany and horticulture among many others topics.
The goal of the Tulsa Garden Center is to promote community education of plants while preserving the historic house which the gardens surround. Furthermore, the organization encourages responsible stewardship of plants and local habitats through lectures, shows, classes and special events.
To welcome in the spring, the Tulsa Garden Center will host the annual SpringFest Garden Market and Festival April 9 and April 10. The center and surrounding grounds will boast hundreds of plants offered by area nurseries along with a variety of unique crafts to adorn gardens. Experienced gardeners will be available to provide advice and answer questions.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Tulsa Garden Center to ensure the continuing of this wonderful resource for the community. The Tulsa Garden Center is located at 2435 S. Peoria. For more information, visit www.tulsagardencenter.com or call (918) 746-5125.
