Young gardeners are our future. Tulsa Garden Club’s Youth Team revived efforts as "GenerationGreen." A corner of the Barn & Visitor Center for the Teaching Garden in Woodward Park has been transformed as Buds & Blooms children’s corner to welcome youngsters to grow their love of gardening. In partnership with Tulsa Garden Center, other local partners, district, state, and regional clubs plus NGC, Tulsa Garden Club presents youth gardening education and sponsors Youth Contests, including poetry, essays, and annual Smokey Bear and Woodsy Owl Poster Contest. Scroll below to download Contest details.

Since the 1950s, Tulsa Garden Club has supported Oklahoma State University students in horticulture, adding landscape architecture in recent years. OSU Foundation, now, manages the Club's endowment that funds multiple scholarships each year.

Tulsa Community College students in horticulture benefited for many years. Today, TCC Foundation manages the Club's endowment for TCC's "Second Chance" program. "Second Chance" helps fund horticulture and turf management programming scholarships, certification, maintenance and supplies for inmates of Dick Conner Correctional Center.
