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.

Low Maintenance Landscaping ideas in Oklahoma

This summer was a scorcher with record breaking high temperatures throughout the state and with each summer seemingly drier than the last it is more important than ever to incorporate a low maintenance eco-friendly landscape.

Oklahoma City weather, what grows here?

The answer is drought tolerant plants that are native to Oklahoma. You will need plants with long and deep root systems that tap into deeper moisture resources. The plants are naturally designed to handle Oklahoma’s dry hot summers. Arkansas Bluestar, Daylilies, Milkweed, Autumn Sage, Red-Hot Poker, Ornamental & Native Trees, and Shrubs are popular heat and drought resistant plants that adapt well to the soil they are planted in.

Mulch! Stone or Hardwood - Which is better for Oklahoma?

Mulching benefits go far past the aesthetics. A ground barrier separating the plants root system from the harsh summer heat and winter freezes is crucial for the success of any plant. Not only does a layer of Stone Mulch or Hardwood Mulch prevent weeds, it also regulates the moisture and soil temperature. Mr. Mulch offers a variety of Decorative Stone and Hardwood Mulch, something for every design.

Cedar Mulch, our Top Selling Wood Mulch, adds a dramatic impact and aroma. This product is made from local cedar, dried and shredded to a fine texture for landscaping. Cedar decays slower than hardwood mulch & its shredded texture causes it to mat together. This blocks the sun to existing weeds, prevents germination of new weeds, and is not easily washed away by rain. Cedar's aromatic quality naturally repels insects.

Looking for something that lasts a little longer? Consider Decorative River Rock. This beautiful stone is locally mined out of the Canadian River and comes in a variety of sizes. River Rock is a natural rounded stone with distinctive smoothness and colors. Centuries of moving waters and shifting streambeds created this beautiful stone. River rocks have many common applications, including landscaping & decorative ground covering, construction material for wall facades and walkways and for use in interior design projects.
