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.

Cyanotype is an old printing process that was popularized for blueprints and has since become a way to create unique art through science. Learn all about the process and the chemistry behind cyanotype before we go out into the Gardens and collect botanical inspiration for our pieces. We will create our own individual artwork on archival paper that can then be taken home, washed, and display ready within 24 hours.
