Discovering the Vintage Garden
is a beautiful walk through Tulsa's storied past.
 We
invite you to enjoy the Vintage Garden given to Tulsa as a generous gift from Charles and Peggy
Stephenson. You'll enjoy a stroll on the paved walkways
lined with flowers as you discover historical Tulsa
artifacts. Our Guardian volunteers can give you a guided
tour or you can guide yourself
with our map.
The garden includes the Five Moons, which are life size, bronze depictions of
Oklahoma's internationally recognized Native American
ballerinas. The Five Moons are also a gift of the
Stephenson's and Howard and Billie Barnett. Beverly and
Sid Patterson have made a contribution towards garden
maintenance.
The garden and the installation of theFive Moons were completed
in 2007. The project was designed
by Howell and Vancuren and installed by Rforma, the two
companies responsible for the design and installation of
the Linneaus Gardens in Woodward Park.
The design of the Vintage Garden provides opportunities
for THS friends to sponsor a limited number of additional
trees or benches as a memorial or tribute to a friend or
family member. Trees and benches will be designated with a
small plaque with the honoree's name and donor's name.
Trees will be 4" in diameter and 12 to 15 feet tall. The
donation, which includes purchase and planting, is $2000.
Benches are five feet, similar to those in the Arboretum,
and will be installed on a concrete pad. Donation is
$1200. Contact the THS office to discuss your interest
(712.9484).
The THS board would like to express a special thank you to
Richard Bewley of AEP/PSO for his assistance in removing
several dying or dangerous trees from the West Lawn. The
project to remove these trees is an example of how PSO and
property owners can work together to ensure the safety of
the community.
