Native Oklahoma Plants

Native plants represent the rich biodiversity of our plains and crosstimbers regions of Oklahoma. Supporting our local pollinators, providing shelter for countless species, improving our air quality and more are just some of the reasons to plant them. They require less water, less fertilizer, and grow optimally in our unique Oklahoma climate. Join us as we discuss strategies for introducing natives into our gardens, highlighting particularly outstanding ones to match our circumstances, and more. Guests will leave with a native perennial to get them started.
