Explore the Tulsa Botanic Garden and be blown away by the natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere. The Garden covers a vast 170-acre site, with 60 acres dedicated to stunning gardens and facilities centered around a seven-acre lake. The remaining 110 acres conserve the native flora and fauna of the Cross Timbers forest and prairie. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just looking for a relaxing day out, the Tulsa Botanic Garden offers something for everyone. Stroll through the gardens and enjoy the stunning displays of trees, shrubs, perennials, and bulbs. With over 200,000 bulbs in bloom, the spring display of daffodils, orchids, and tulips is not to be missed. And if you’re looking for something extra unique, check out one of the many special events held throughout the year. One of the highlights of my visit was the art in the Garden. The handcrafted, one-of-a-kind objects seamlessly merge design and functionality, adding to the Garden’s rich tapestry of stories, tastes, and sounds. Overall, the Tulsa Botanic Garden is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to connect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

If it's September, you might want to check out the Greek Holiday Festival sponsored by the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. It's a fantastic celebration of all things Greek, including dance, drink, and food. You'll feel like you've been transported right to the Greek Isles. And speaking of significant food events, Tulsa has its fantastic celebration of Greek culture and cuisine. The annual festival celebrates 50 years of bringing together the community to enjoy traditional dishes and learn more about Greek traditions. If you're feeling competitive, try the Lord of the Fries, a hilarious and messy fry-eating competition. Teams of two work together to see who can eat the most fries before time runs out, and the winning team earns the coveted title of "Lords (or Ladies) of the Fries."
