Oklahoma Botanical Garden &
Arboretum

In April, 1991, the Oklahoma Botanical Garden and Arboretum Bill was signed into law and officially took effect September 1, 1991. Oklahoma is one of only two states that has a statewide arboretum system.

As Oklahoma enters its second hundred years, the Oklahoma Botanical Garden and Arboretum (OBGA) will play a vital role in the marketing and promotion of horticulture and landscape architecture in Oklahoma.

A few of the benefits that a statewide system will generate include:
      • providing an opportunity for the general public to learn more about horticulture and landscape architecture
      • providing a mechanism for commercial industry to
        evaluate plant performance throughout the state and coordinate the compilation of plant records
      • enhancing the expertise of the educational programs of the state-wide affiliate gardens and arboreta
      • evaluating and recommending plants adapted to
        Oklahoma's diverse climatic conditions preserving a gene pool of native and adapted plant species for research
      • establishing cooperative sites for dissemination of new plant introductions and research unifying efforts toward environmental conservation
