Amazing Gardens in Oklahoma
Oklahoma is home to some amazing gardens. From manicured, European-inspired courtyards to thriving utopias nestled within the heart of bustling cities, gardens across the state beckon visitors during the sun-soaked months of spring and summer. Here are a few everyone should see.
Honor Heights Park: Situated on the western edge of Muskogee in eastern Oklahoma, the renowned 132-acre Honor Heights Park is famous for its stunning azaleas, which are prominently displayed throughout the surrounding area and within the park’s popular azalea gardens. In the spring, their delicate white, pink, red and purple blooms burst onto the landscape during the month-long Azalea Festival, often considered one of the best spring events in the South.
Philbrook Gardens: Constructed for Villa Philbrook when it was still a home, the original design combined Italian, English and French garden attributes. The Philbrook Gardens were intended to showcase native plants and trees, and the gardens have retained this mission throughout the decades. To this day, the gardens offer superb outdoor spaces for viewing Oklahoma’s natural environment at its finest.
Lendonwood Gardens: This six-acre expanse features more than 1,200 species of plants, set amidst native trees as well as transplants such as dawn redwood and Himalayan cedar. Stroll to the daylily display area to see the bright blooms of around 500 varieties of the plant, and then marvel at the deep, rich colors added to Lendonwood by more than 75 varieties of Japanese maple trees.
Myriad Botanical Gardens and Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory: The glass-encased, tube-shaped Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory holds much more than one would expect: entire ecosystems flourish here, from a lush rainforest to an arid desert. Over 1,000 plants from all continents except Antarctica fill the conservatory, from humble cacti to towering palms that reach skyward.
