Lendonwood Gardens — Attraction in Grove

We just had my daughter's wedding here and these people are just fantastic. They bent over backwards, even working in the rain, to make our event spectacular. We were supposed to have the ceremony and reception in a friends lakefront yard but 2 weeks before he backed out. We called Lendonwood and that was the best decision we ever made. When I first called we were just looking to hold the reception there and the weather was supposed to be partly cloudy in the 70's. A week later the forecast was rainy and 40's.

Even on March 11 with weather in the 40's my daughter found at least 10 flowery spots to take pictures. In the sprin, summer, and fall the scenery...

For those posting it's not a perfectly manicured botanical garden like you'd see in a large city, no it's not; it's a local garden with its own charm. I didn't mind paying $5 for the experience to discover so many different trees and plants that do well in Oklahoma's climate. It gave us some ideas for our...

Little idyllic heaven in the middle of town. Beautiful afternoon spent walking around the gardens full of fabulous colorful blooms, birds singing, lush green foliage and winding rock pathways taking you on an adventure to unknown beautiful flora where butterflies abound. We sat at the koi pond's edge surrounded by nature rising above us in the shape of magnificent magnolia trees and the splash of the fish as they leisurely swam by. Best afternoon ever the best thing is they are...
