Treefort Story Hour
September 12, 2026
10:30 am - 11:00 am
Story time, but make it opera. Tulsa Opera returns to our Treefort for a back-to-school story hour where the singers don’t just read the story — they sing it, and the kids sing along. A Garden favorite.
Free with admission.
Monarch Experience & Grandparents Day
September 13, 2026
10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Monarchs migrate through Tulsa every September on their way to Mexico — and on the 13th, the Garden is theirs. Watch a live butterfly get tagged for research, hear from Master Gardeners and native-plant experts, and make butterfly crafts with the kids.
It’s Grandparents Day too — grandparents receive a gift.
Included with admission.

Featuring Stephanie Oliver
Genre: Jazz, Soul, Funk & Blues
Live music on the lawn, golden hour in the Garden. Every Thursday evening this fall, a Tulsa artist takes the stage while you spread a blanket, grab dinner and a drink from our food trucks and bar, and watch the sun go down over the hills. General Admission ticket gets you in.
918 Days: Free Admission

BOOtanical: Autumn Festival & Pumpkin Patch
September 19 – October 31, 2026
10:00 am - 5:00 pm (closed Mondays)
Every fall, the Garden turns into BOOtanical — six weeks of pumpkins, hay bales, scarecrows and cool-evening Thursdays that Tulsa families come back for year after year. It opens Saturday, September 19 and runs straight through Halloween.
What’s waiting for you
- The Hay Maze — built by hand, big enough to lose the kids in (briefly)
- The Pumpkin Patch — pick your own to take
- Scarecrow Row — dozens of scarecrows built by local businesses, schools, scouts and families for the Scarecrow Challenge. Walk the row, pick a favorite, and vote.
- The Spooky Trail — Thursdays from October 1, 5–7:30 PM. A lantern-lit, not-too-scary walk through the Garden after dark. $12 non-members / $10 members, add-on to general admission.
- Bands & Blooms every Thursday, 6–8 PM — live music with food and drinks for purchase, included with admission
