Extreme Gardner visits OSU Botanical Garden

I just watched Oklahoma Gardening on OETA where host Kim Toscano take a tour around TLC in OKC. Can I just buy everything they featured? Then I would have to water it, I guess, which is a chore since the current climate of middle Oklahoma is "desert". No rain in weeks, in our neighborhood.

Kim appeared in person at the botanical garden tour which topped off a fabulous day at the Gardening with Disabilities day-long workshop at OSU in Stillwater on Thursday. In this photo she is exuberant about the new blueberry, strawberry, blackberry area.

I also met a new friend, Shouna, whose son and daughter I get to visit with regularly at WINGS in OKC. We compared notes and "WOW" raised eyebrows all day as we listened to idea after idea we can apply to our community garden collaboration between WINGS, Whistling Wind and Chesapeake. We snagged Kim for a photo at the end of the garden tour.

Since the garden is not in full bloom and foliage yet, the garden structures were easy to examine. Here are some of my favorites.

Gotta love a good bottle tree.

The botanical garden is west of the OSU campus off of Western.
