The Tulsa Garden Center is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to serve as horticultural headquarters with diverse educational opportunities for our community, and to provide exceptional and unique guest experiences within Woodward Park.
Tulsa Garden Center fulfills this role by offering numerous lectures, classes, training, plant shows, and special events throughout the year, which are predominantly free for its Members. Additionally, 16 affiliated “Plant Society” organizations such as the Oklahoma Mycological Society, Audubon Society, Sierra Club, Tulsa Rose Society, and Tulsa Garden Club call Tulsa Garden Center home for their horticultural and environmental activities, supplementing our extensive list of educational opportunities with even more events open the public.
The Snedden Mansion is open to the public Tuesday through Friday 9:00am – 4:00pm, and Saturdays by appointment only. Park information and hours can be found here.
Visitors can enjoy the architecture and collection of historical photographs displayed throughout the mansion which depict the home as it was during the Snedden days. Most of the rooms still retain the craftsmanship and charm of the original home. The extensive woodcarvings, the flamboyant gold leaf ceilings and the dramatic marble floors are just a few of the original or near original elements preserved.
