Public Education: 71st Annual Garden Tour
The community's longest-running educational garden tour returns, Saturday, May 14, 2022! Since 1929, Club members have opened their own gardens and arranged public tours to help visitors learn more about ornamental, vegetable and herb gardening, natural and functional hardscape, water management, and lighting. The Tour offers the public's greatest opportunity to enjoy Tulsa's private residential gardens in full spring splendor. Behind-the-scenes or sneak previews of public gardens have been featured.
Tour tickets allow entry to all five gardens (and three interiors). Tour ticket is redeemed for Tour Guide at first garden for Tour details incl brief descriptions of each garden, along with Patron recognition*. $10 Advance tickets are available via Eventbrite through 3 pm, Friday, May 13. $15 Tour Day tickets may be purchased at the first featured garden visited on Saturday, May 14. The Tour is self guided for visitors to move garden-to-garden as preferred.
Presented by generous garden/homeowners, Club members and Patrons, the Tour fulfills National Garden Clubs, Inc. objectives to educate the public and advance the art of gardening, horticulture, landscape design, floral design, and environmental sciences.
Every effort will be made to comply with local ordinances and Tulsa County Health Department recommendations to ensure a healthy and safe experience.
Proceeds benefit Tulsa Garden Club gardening education projects, including Tulsa Garden Center.
Special Thanks to our Gardening Gems
