garden tour

Whenever I imagined the State of Oklahoma (which honestly wasn't that often) I pictured it mostly as a flat, golden prairieland– "where the wind comes sweeping down the plain." While touring Tulsa last week, my mental picture altered a bit. These pictures were taken in some amazing gardens in the Sooner State. The first image is a former amphitheater converted into a terraced garden.

The apothecary garden showcased specimens used for medicinal purposes.

Philbrook, an oil tycoon residence turned art museum, was nothing short of inspiring.


During the coming winter months I will surely be dreaming of the possibility of springtime gardens at Jefferson Square.
