Oklahoma Garden School 2026
Oklahoma Gardening School: Weathering the Storm and Rooting Resilience
Saturday, March 7, 2026 | 8AM-2PM
Myriad Botanical Gardens’ annual Oklahoma Gardening School is the state’s premier horticultural symposium designed for home gardeners and professional horticulturists, garden designers, and landscape architects.
Oklahoma is no stranger to challenges out in the garden. Whether we’re combatting sudden hail or wind storms, visiting every season in a single day, or battling bugs that see our hard work as their dream buffet, it can sometimes seem like we’re fighting a never ending battle. Join us for a half day with the experts as we discuss strategies to mitigate damage, respond when trouble arises, or sometimes just to know when to throw in the towel and try something different. This year’s format will feature our keynote speaker, Daria McKelvey of Missouri Botanic Gardens, and a selection of breakout sessions that you can select from to tailor your experience to your own needs and interests.
Registration will open on Monday, February 2.
