Grumpy’s Bird Refuge & Pollinator Garden, located on private property in the heart of beautiful Midwest City, Oklahoma, currently offers mating and weary migrating birds a safe place to rest and nourish themselves while hydrating, feeding and bathing in multiple water sources, placed at different heights around Grumpy’s home.
This year’s menu offers an abundance of black oil sunflowers and millet, grown organically amongst over 70 Red Cannalilies and left to dry on the stalks for the birds to harvest naturally, like they do in the wild.
For our vital, hard working pollinators, Goldenrod and Cow Thistle have been intentionally planted amongst the Black Eyed Susans to reinforce their fragile stalks, plus their spiny leaves discourage feral cats from hunting songbirds at night – Wild Clematis vines and Orange Trumpet vines are slowly reaching for the cow fencing that covers the stump of a coniferous evergreen tree at the center of Grumpy’s Bird Refuge.
Hopefully, the combined vines and Cow Thistle’s thorns will one day cover everything with protective cover against all predators for the birds to take refuge in a hurry.
The fragrant aroma from Oriental Trumpet lilies wafts over the entire neighborhood as the White Chiffon Rose of Sharon, planted in loving memory of my beautiful, dear Mama; Sharon Tang, prepares to blossom for the first time this spring 2026.
Feel free to drive by 2421 N Key Boulevard and take a whiff when the lilies are in bloom – smells are free!

A front yard garden with pollinator friendly flowers, hummingbird feeders, bird feeders, and a bird bath!

I named this Cheyenne’s for Monarchs as I am a member of the Cheyenne Tribe. I have pollinator and plants native to Western Oklahoma in my garden. Milkweed, beesbalm, yucca, sage, black eye susan, echnichea, mexican sunflowers and native sunflowers, etc. I have native sandstone and granite cobblestones
I transplant native plants that I gather on Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribal lands and use no peaticides.

TD Garden in Muskogee is a small pollinator residential habitat.

Simply a back yard butterfly garden! Started last year but had great results so looking forward to year two!

1000 sq ft of native and pollinator plants. No chemical usage.

Small (ten acres) tract with several acres of mixed hardwood forest and an open area that was once a cultivated field. I have tried to make this place into a sanctuary for birds, butterflies, pollinators, and other critters. A large labyrinth (Over 100′ across, easily seen on satellite images.) was added several years ago as a focal point for flowers and a place to watch the “Sunset Theater” performances. More information can be found at https://labyrinthlocator.org/?fwp_state=ok (Access is by appointment only at this time through the World-Wide Labyrinth Locator organization.)

A pocket prairie garden that is always expanding. 🦋
