Watch the sun set and the August Blue Moon rise over the rolling Osage hills – the Tulsa Botanic Garden is opening late for this special celestial event! The moon will be bright, but you’ll also be able to see shooting stars as a part of the annual Leonid meteor shower.
Learn more about our Cross Timbers ecoregion from a 30 min presentation by two of our horticulturists in our Mabee Grange Event Center. You can enjoy a self-guided hike on our 1-mile trail through native prairie and Cross Timbers forest -or- participate in a guided tour led by one of our expert Horticulturists (groups leaving every 45 minutes, approx.).
