Larry was born cross-eyed, but that doesn’t hold him back. Most days during the winter, you can find him curled up in front of the heater. During the summer, his favorite spot is on the seat of the tractor. “He’s lazy during the day because he spends his nights partying in our barn. Larry doesn’t stroll the garden unless he’s forced to, so if you’re ever lucky enough to meet him, bring a lint roller! He’s a snuggler.” Spring Events The second Saturday of most months, Tulsa Botanic Gar- den hosts Dog Days. These are special days when dogs can visit along with their families for a walk and sniff around the garden. And don’t miss the Spring Online Plant Sale, May 2 –15, with more than 100 types of plants available. Proceeds from the sale benefit Tulsa Botanic Garden; members get to shop first and receive a discount. “We have just added First Friday Horticulture Tours, a walking tour with a staff horticulturist (and maybe a feline) at 1 p.m. on the first Friday. There is no charge other than admission, but we do ask for preregistration,” Hutson says.

ABOUT TULSA BOTANIC GARDEN Tulsa Botanic Garden is eight miles northwest of downtown Tulsa. It is open year-round and offers a two- acre Children’s Discovery Garden, a three-acre orna- mental garden called Tandy Floral Terraces, and Lakeside Promenade, a three-fourth- mile trail with planting beds that encircle the lake. “We just recently broke ground for two new gardens going under construction — the Bumgarner Lotus Pool Garden and the Stanford Family Liberty Garden. Esti- mated completion for both is mid-2023,” says Lori Hutson, director of communications and outreach. Tulsa Botanic Garden is a nonprofit organization which receives support through memberships and dona- tions from the community.
