TULSA, Okla. — Springtime in Oklahoma is known for the stormy weather, pollen, and beautiful blooms.

Jeffrey Fox is the Curator of the Tandy Floral Terraces at the Tulsa Botanic Garden.

Fox told 2 News it’s good to get some sunshine and see some beautiful color that many might not see in a normal routine. The Tulsa Botanic Garden is home to over one hundred thousand annual bulbs with just over 66,000 tulips at peak in April.

“If you want to come out and see them, I’d come this weekend especially with all the wind we’ve been having lately. Everything has its season and these tulips included," Fox said.

There’s more to take along with the fragrant and vibrant blooms.

"Even if you aren’t a plant nerd, or looking for that scholarly aspect, I feel like the botanic garden has a way of providing anyone who comes with what they need whether it’s just a beautiful space for reflection or a conversation with somebody you’d like to bring out with you," Fox said.

Fox is also leading a horticulture tour at 10:30 a.m. that is part of a paid admission to the garden.
