OSU Botanical Gardens ~Stillwater, OK

Last month we took the kids to the OSU Botanical Gardens.

I had been a couple of times with the boys in the like spring and summer but the girls had never been so we checked it out.

It was nice to walk around there even without the flowers blooming.

I like all the information they have around the gardens.

I think that an insect hotel is such a fun idea but I am worried about the kinds of insects it would attract.

Playing in the senses garden.

No smells right now since most stuff is dormant but the kids liked playing with all the things that make sounds.

sweep

He could not believe how dirty it was and started sweeping.

Why does he not have that same compulsion at home?

flowerbox

They had window boxes filled with rocks that they could “plant” the fake flowers in.

Great idea!

They have a little water table area but it was not turned on.

This is the second time we have gone to this garden!

I think I would like to go again this summer when different plants are blooming.

You can find information on this beautiful place at their site, here.
