Tulsa Garden Center

This is another review for Spring Fling (to go). Last year the Garden Center did a pre-order event. This year, it was live (and all outdoors). Not sure why they are still calling it "to go."I was glad to see the event return BUT there were fewer vendors than pre-COVID (which I totally get). There were two or three cacti vendors but the Master Gardener event where they sell off surplus plants from Linnaeus or their own gardens was absent. Major sad face here.There are also usually a LOT of herb vendors. Not so much. As you can see, I'm still rating this a four because it is an event that's back! (Note that I attended Friday and that perhaps more vendors will be there tomorrow.

this place is more known for people taking their senior/wedding pics more than being sight seeing. don't let that part fool you. it's still worth the visit. their gardens are so beautiful, it's hard not to take your phone/camera out & to capture what's around you. another thing nice about this place, they section off into other areas that have sculptures, stores, etc. you can learn about history there while buying merch that are reminders that you've visited.this area also has art shows from time to time. i always like to visit & during the previous one, i met a lot of people and it was nice getting to know people of the city that are so talented. definitely check this place out if you love nature or need to get some fresh air.

Beautiful location if you are in Tulsa definitely a must see tons of butterflies just beautiful open flowerbeds there's a beautiful location where you can sit down and meditate under trees.You do not have to pay to enter here this is free to the public it is tucked away very nicely in the city once you're in this garden you wouldn't think that you are in an actual city you would think that you are in a plantation or in a mansion in a lost garden.The butterflies, the bumblebees! I just a few of the things that you will encounter tons of birds wildlife just running around it's absolutely breathtaking if you ever wanna go on a first date that is a perfect place to go to set up a picnic beautiful photographs that can't be taken there. Even in the summer it's not too hot to go and sit down and review all the flowers the different colors to every single flower the garden is very well taken care of the staff is all around if you have any questions they're there to help you answer any questions you may have pertaining the flowers. They don't ask you for an admission but they do ask for a donation if you can give one this is worth paying for! The garden alone takes your breath away and then as you keep walking and you keep finding more and more things you find a lot of history here a lot of native American history a lot of different flowers that you didn't think would exist they're all still sitting here preserved this is a beautiful location beautiful garden you would not think that you are in the middle of the city.

The Tulsa Garden Center is most definitely not a place I routinely haunt, but I wanted to write this review because of the stellar job they did on my daughter's wedding.TGC worked tirelessly with my daughter in planning her wedding and reception and they really came through for us.From the advance planning, to the last minute details, to the actual event, TGC's staff were consummate professionals in every aspect. The facility is beautiful, spacious and if full of class and charm. The first floor room exude class and sophistication at every turn.TGC staffers worked with our people on the pre-ceremony setups, all during the event for the reception, dancing and photography. And when the time came to wrap it all up, they rolled up their sleeves and pitched right in to help us out.I can't say enough about Sarah, as she was an absolute angel and lifesaver during our evening. She stayed on top of everything and made sure everything was perfect.While marrying off daughters isn't something I'll be doing on a regular basis, I do recommend TGC as a premier event center for ANY type event where you want to put your best foot forward.

I expected in mid-Spring to find some beautiful flowers especially in the rose garden. Unfortunately the recent infestation of Rose Rosette disease has left the garden a sad and depressing place to walk through. I'm certainly no expert but to me, with all of the other rose bushes I've seen throughout Tulsa (like the Philbrook or even the Tulsa Historical Society building right next door) it makes me wonder why the Garden Center isn't able to do more to either save or replace their roses.The building itself seems a bit lacking in both maintenance and landscaping. I'm sure it must be very expensive to maintain but perhaps they could partner with another organization to help preserve this historical area of Tulsa before it fades away.

Tulsa Garden Center is a great and relaxing place to go when you want to get out of the house and go for a walk with a friend, family member or even a spouse. I took my fiance here just to enjoy the weather together and walk around smelling all the beautiful flowers. There are restrooms inside so no need to go camel style and not drink anything for fear that they don't have a public bathrooms lol.I loved seeing the mansion and walking around the grounds and taking pictures. Very pretty and enjoyable. I give it 5 stars because It's a relaxing walk and it's free...let's face it we all like to do something relaxing for free while being with someone you care about :)

David R. Travis Mansion was completed in 1921 and acquired by the City of Tulsa in 1954. The house is available for events. There is a greenhouse, arboretum, rose garden, and Linnaeus Teaching Gardens. The rose garden is suffering from a blight that has killed hundreds of the rose bushes. There are atill a lot of beautiful roses on a terraced landscape. There are multiple water gardens. The greenhouse has many different types of plants. The Linnaeus Gardens are absolute lovely. There are secluded tables and chairs set among herb and vegetable gardens as well as waterfalls and water gardens with huge koi.

This place must be visited when you are in town. It is a nice garden and free admission. You would have a long walk without tiring because all these beautiful flowers, plants and garden design. There also has art events and others like festivals, weddings and education classes. I would go back for a walk when I'm in town.

Beautiful attraction. Gave us some great gardening ideas. Lots of insects to see. Plus a friendly kitten.

I cannot even begin to describe my disappointment with the venue staff. If you want to get married here just know that the women you will be dealing with are rude and pretentious for absolutely no reason. The venue itself is beautiful but the staff were horrendous. They were racist towards our guests, they blamed us for "missing" items which magically reappeared when pressed for their location, and they dogged our phone calls. The staff also bad mouthed other vendors who were working our wedding. Their lack of professionalism was astounding. I dont regret the beautiful pictures that the photographer took but I am still regretting a week later that I have to deal with their staff.
