Gardening Education Planting Plants, Growing Friends!

Tulsa Garden Club celebrates Members’ commitment to gardening education and ongoing learning. Members will receive a specially-selected Christmas cactus personally delivered by the Committee, November 15-17.

Yet everyone may enjoy this VIP event without leaving your home! All the savings from travel bans and limited social activities can still benefit learning.

Charitable gifts further the Club's gardening education, programming, materials and supplies, including horticulture and landscape architecture for enrollees with Oklahoma State University and Tulsa Community College's Second Chance program at Dick Conner Correctional Center.

Give gardening education. Give thanks for:

• $300+a COVID-free safe vacation to anywhere you can imagine!
• $250 face massless!
• $150 hand-sanitizer-free!
• $100 no Zoom-ing!
• $50 forget social distancing!

This annual holiday event began as a sale of plant and organic materials decades ago and has evolved into a sold-out fundraiser. Pre-pandemic events featured 200 members and guests, catered luncheon, entertainment, silent auction and drawing for awesome prizes.

Since the late 1950s Tulsa Garden Club has awarded 200+ student grants (approximately $240,000) in horticulture or landscape architecture programs from proceeds of projects, including the holiday tea.

• Tulsa Garden Club was the first Oklahoma garden club to establish an endowed fund with Oklahoma State University (OSU) in horticulture and landscape architecture in 1985.
• Tulsa Community College (TCC) students have received scholarships since 1998 and, in 2009, an endowed fund was established to support horticulture programming. TCC discontinued its own program, yet has extended horticulture education and certification through the "Second Chance" program for Dick Conner Correctional Center inmates.
