Beautiful gardens and rosarians dreams. Well manicured and almost fairy tale. Its a great afternoon to walk around there and then have a picnic in woodward.
the mansion offers a self guided tour; the conservatory behind the mansion offers a gorgeous display of plants; unfortunately the Linnaeus Teaching Gardens are closed in January/February
Very nice to walk through and see all the different varities of Roses and other plants, well maintained and looked after.
Was there for the Linnaeus gardens but could not leave without walking the beautiful rose garden and touring the mansion and carriage house! What a very tranquil and educational area in the middle of Tulsa. Good job
We attended the Tea & Crumpets fund raiser here, probably spent less than an hour. The building is beautiful, hard to believe it was a private home, a Jewish Temple, a popular wedding venue and one of Tulsa's most haunted places. Many of the original architectural and design features remain. The garden center gift shop is in a separate building and reminded us of a thrift shop. There was an admission fee for Tea & Crumpets and lunch was available for purchase on that day. My only other visit, was to submit entrees to a photography contest. Tulsa Garden Society and Herb Society meet here, the garden center maintains a library upstairs.
Where have all the flowers gone? We visited on a Sunday morning expecting to see lots of flowers. The garden area outside at the greenhouses was disappointing. The plants in the greenhouse were stressed and the greenhouse was in need of watering and a good clean. The park area had lots of dogs off the lease which was a major nuisance and restricted where you could safely walk. The name plates on the trees was very useful. 30 minutes was long enough.
This is a great place to visit, and I strongly encourage you to not only visit, but support the Rose Garden. They've suffered a tremendous loss due to a disease (rosette virus) that swept through the rose gardens. I know they are working hard to bring the area back into service, and your help or donations would be helpful.
My favourite time to visit Garden Center is when the roses are out. The hot houses are worth a visit as is the gift shop.
Beautiful grounds near a beautiful park in Tulsa. Plenty of flowers and plants to experience. Nicest part for me is the experienced horticulturists that I can get advice from. It really is nice way to spend a couple hours on a lazy day. Free to public.
Have to see in May or in the summer when all the roses and flowers are blooming. We love taking pictures here.
