Master Gardener Teaching Garden

This area is designed, built, landscaped and maintained by volunteers of the Master Gardener Association of Rogers County- in partnership with OSU Cooperative Extension (Rogers County) and the Claremore Parks Department. The Teaching Garden is located in Will Rogers Park in Claremore and is open to the public on assigned days through the week. There are several themed gardens including a large pollinator garden with plant varieties that attract monarchs-as well as other butterfly, bee and pollinator type insects.

Historic Rodkey House garden in Edmond

The Rodkey house is a 1901 Victorian home of the family of Rodkey Flour Mill in Edmond. We planted milkweed in the flowerbeds near the large front porch this year–and hope to add more pollinator plants in the future. Children who attend camp at the house, which is now an educational and rental facility, will learn more about the pollinator garden.

Tulsa Zoo Conservation Garden

We have 3 certified Waystations at the Tulsa Zoo with the largest being the Conservation Garden. This is a large pollinator garden and certfied Waystation with over 100 native Oklahoma plants, including multiple species of milkweed. The Garden showcases not only the native pollinator plants but also explains how to get started with planting a garden and it also shows the importance of native grasses in our state and there is a large rain garden which helps teach about water conservation and how native plants play a role against erosion with slowing down water and sinking it to help replenish the ground water.
