Meinders Garden

Review #44Location: This garden is on the northeast corner of Myriad Botanical Gardens, across from the Colcord Hotel; where N Robinson Ave & Ron Norick Blvd meet to the east of the garden, & W Sheridan Ave on the north side. Reno Ave is to the south. The official address for the Myriad Botanical Gardens is 301 W Reno Ave, OKC, OK 73102.Description: A specialty garden with ponds, walking paths, trees, flowers in the spring and summer, and a terrace for events. There is a large fountain at the entrance on the NE corner.Parking/Transportation: There is limited metered street parking around the gardens. You have to either park a few blocks away off the street or park in one of 6 parking garages, which are anywhere from 1-4 blocks away. Even better, you can use the new OKC Streetcar and get off at the Myriad Gardens stop on the northwest side on S Hudson Ave.Basic Info: This garden is one of two specialty gardens within the Myriad Gardens 17-acre Square. The two specialty gardens were funded by the Herman and LaDonna Meinders Foundation. (Side note: Wow, now I've heard of a 7th woman with my 1st name; although there are many in Italy and elsewhere I just haven't heard of many.). This garden was constructed in 1997 and completed in 1998.Side note: I created this business on Yelp and added the first pictures and tips. I've actually created close to 100 or more on Yelp, but I haven't tracked all the ones I've done; as I was too busy giving compliments, liking pictures, tips and check-ins, of my Yelp friends and others on Yelp!Posted on 27 Dec 2018
