About Lendonwood Gardens
Lendonwood Gardens is an eight-acre botanical garden in northeastern Oklahoma, near Grand Lake. Its shaded walkways pass through a wide range of plantings, including azaleas, dogwoods, peonies, hostas, and evergreens. The garden holds several notable plant collections, among them false cypress, daylilies, rhododendrons, and Japanese maples. It also includes the Oklahoma Garden, which showcases plants recommended by the Oklahoma State University Extension program. Families can ask for a butterfly stamp at the Welcome Center, learn about monarch butterflies at a waystation, and feed the koi in the pond. The gardens were founded in 1995 by a retired dentist, blend American and Japanese gardening styles, and operate as a non-profit that depends on donations and fundraising.
