THE BRIDGE EDITORIAL STAFF
Letter from the President and CEO
Dear Garden Friends:
I want to highlight all the great work that our Education Department undertakes year-round to offer classes, workshops and an annual symposium to encourage all ages to garden, or at least gain a love and appreciation for plants. Led by Joel Bramhall, along with Lily Peppers, Olivia Dias and Kodi Clifford, this terrific staff coordinates and conducts a host of activities for children and adults, everything from weekly nature-themed story times, to leading school field trips to learning opportunities such as handling fresh herbs, digging potatoes and helping grow plants. There are classes on seed starting, tree planting, composting and more. We educate thousands of people every year on how to become better gardeners and understand ecological connections.
Joel was recently recognized for the gardening program he developed for students who attend John Rex Middle School at the Gardens. In July he was a keynote speaker at an annual gathering of the Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, Iowa. His talk, Future-Focused Learning for Growing Self-Reliant Communities, was a wonderful recognition for our program because we are the only botanical garden that houses a public school.
Our Education Department has planned a special lecture event this fall which will be held Saturday, October 26 the Park House. Benjamin Vogt is our speaker and his talk is entitled, Reprairie Suburbia: Creating a Drought Tolerant & Low Maintenance Pollinator Garden. Please don’t miss this opportunity to hear a fascinating speaker discuss this important topic area.
So many people have mentioned to me over this summer and early fall that our gardens and grounds have never looked more thriving and beautiful. This is a testament to time and talent. The time is the eight years we have had to steward the gardens and grounds since Myriad Gardens Foundation became the operator of the Gardens in 2011 following a complete redesign of the outdoor spaces. I look back at photographs and marvel at the changes – young trees now generous with shade, filled in terrace slopes now abloom in fall flower color and swaying grasses, and a prairie garden alive with butterflies refueling before their long flight to Mexico for the winter.
The talent comes from our skilled horticulture staff headed by Nate Tschaenn who during the last several years has been an incredible steward of the Gardens and maintains continuous improvement as his motto.
We are working on creating a new garden area behind the large boulder fountain at the corner of Sheridan and Robinson. We are calling it The Secret Garden as it is a kind of hidden area but one with great potential as an intimate spot for just relaxing and enjoying views of the Meinders Garden and Seasonal Plaza water fountains. It will be fully completed in the spring of 2020.
Eight years ago we celebrated the reopening of Myriad Botanical Gardens and this year, we are celebrating the opening of Scissortail Park which we are also now operating and managing. The new park adds a major green belt to downtown as it is just two blocks from the Gardens. We look forward to using Scissortail Park to extend our botanical garden mission. Our education staff will have an additional 36 acres of beautifully landscaped and diverse plantings to further inspire and teach the public about plants that thrive in our region and how gardening benefits mind, body and soul.
I hope to see you as well at our wonderful Pumpkinville running from October 11 through 27. You won’t want to miss this year’s carnival theme and all the incredible “curcurbitry” on display i.e. pumpkin wizardry!
Thank you for your support of Myriad Botanical Gardens.

Our immersive light installation celebrating the holidays returns to the Crystal Bridge Conservatory Wednesday, November 27. The entire Bridge serves as a canvas for moving lights choreographed to music, inviting visitors inside for a curated and creative experience. Inspiration for this year’s show is the swirling blue and gold images of the painting The Starry Night, by Vincent Van Gogh.
Illuminations: Starry Starry Night will be designed to capture the unique lighting of a winter sky. Features this year include a lighted tunnel along the upper walkway and a planetarium feel in the area on the west side of the Bridge called the Oculus Room. Highlighted in this experience are the rare and beautiful plants inside the Conservatory.
A must-see event for the entire family, Illuminations: Starry Starry Night is sure to become a holiday tradition in downtown Oklahoma City.

TOGETHER SQUARE Opens with NBA Star Blake Griffin
WRITTEN BY Steven Vekony, Manager of Together Square
Oklahoma City residents are taking full advantage of all that Together Square has to offer since opening June 2. Located on the corner of Sheridan and Hudson Avenues across from Myriad Botanical Gardens, the green space features a basketball and futsal court.
As a collaborative effort between OGE Energy Corp., the Energy Assist Foundation, Team Griffin Foundation and Myriad Botanical Gardens, Together Square has quickly become a community gathering spot.
NBA star Blake Griffin and Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt kicked off the opening of the space with a tip-off at center court and a first kick on goal on the futsal court. Team Griffin Foundation held clinics for kids on the basketball court while players from OKC Energy, the city’s professional men’s soccer club, did the same on the futsal court.
OKC Energy hosted a FIFA Women’s World Cup watch party July 7 on the green space of Together Square. Hundreds gathered to watch Team USA defeat the Netherlands and earn back-to-back World Cup titles.
The Futbol Factory hosted the Footy Festival – a 12-team futsal tournament – at Together Square in August. The tournament lasted two days and the winning team took home a $1000 grand prize.
Together Square is the site for a new fitness class hosted by Koda CrossFit. The class is held each Thursday through November from 5:45-6:45 pm and is a bodyweight class for all experience levels.
Free and open to the public daily from 8am to 10pm, the courts and green space also can be rented for corporate events, birthday parties, tournaments, and other events. Cost is $25 per hour. Reservations can be made at myriadgardens.org/ togethersquare/ or by contacting Steven Vekony at (405) 445-7089.

Garden School in Session
John Rex Middle School at Myriad Gardens expands another grade
John Rex Middle School began its second year as the only onsite public school at a botanic garden or arboretum with 126 students in the redesigned classroom spaces of the McGee Education Center, located in the lower level of the Crystal Bridge Visitor Center.
Last year, sixth grade students were introduced to Garden Groundbreakers, a first-of-its-kind experiential enrichment program designed by Joel Bramhall, director of education for Myriad Botanical Gardens. This interdisciplinary program fosters academic achievement, enhances environmental stewardship and encourages healthy living while building social and community ownership.
A new crop of sixth graders will be led in weekly hands-on lessons by Gardens education department staff, while the seventh grade will activate prior knowledge from last year’s program by partaking in quarterly lessons taught by local representatives from The City of Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust, Integris Health, Closer to Earth, and Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality.

HORTICULTURE HAPPENINGS

New Turfgrass Variety Developed at OSU Makes Debut
WRITTEN BY Mathew Janda, Associate Director of Horticulture and Grounds, Scissortail Park
In September, our Pavilion Lawn – the area west of Mo’s Carousel – was converted from ‘Meyers’ Zoysia to Tahoma 31 Bermuda grass. Tahoma 31 is the newest and most improved variety of Bermuda grass, developed by Oklahoma State University. The lawn has been ‘Meyers’ Zoysia since the renovation of Myriad Botanical Gardens in 2011. While this is still a good warm season grass, we are choosing to put down a new type of Bermuda grass for a number of reasons.
The biggest reasons behind the investment include drought tolerance, winter hardiness, and water conservation. An extensive deep root system allows this grass to be better equipped to handle extreme
temperatures, thus requiring less water than the most common and newer varieties of Bermuda grass.
Tahoma 31 will also turn green before any other warm season turf, which is a part of the winter hardiness. We also added a crown and a French drain to the area to ensure the lawn no longer holds water after rain.
On your next visit to the Gardens, be sure to take a stroll by the Pavilion Lawn to see the latest and greatest developments in turfgrass.
New: Tahoma 31 Bermuda grass.

Hardy Hibiscus Big Colorful Blooms Astound
WRITTEN BY Nate Tschaenn, Director of Horticulture
When it comes to hibiscus plants, it seems tropical hibiscus gets all the attention. There are hardy hibiscus plants, though, and they are my absolute favorite perennials. Not only do they return each year, unlike the tropical hibiscus, they can grow to the size of a medium shrub in a single season and have huge flowers, as big as 12” across! Hardy hibiscus are also related to rose-of-Sharon, another hardy species of hibiscus native to China that grows into a large shrub, but hardy hibiscuses are native with larger flowers and die back to the ground each year, reemerging in late spring.
There are five species of hardy hibiscus, all native to swampy areas of the United States. Decades of hybridizing of these various species has produced many fantastic cultivars. Flowers are available in various shades of red, white, pink, and purple/ plum, some having multiple colors or patterns in each bloom. A few cultivars have dark purple foliage, which nicely contrasts with the big, colorful blooms.
While hibiscus plants prefer moist soils, they are easy to grow and can tolerate occasional droughts. They will grow in full sun, but a bit of afternoon shade will keep the flowers looking fresh longer. Each flower only lasts a day, but a mature plant can produce numerous, dinner plate-sized blooms each day from midsummer all the way to first frost.
Currently we have four cultivars of hibiscus growing in the Gardens. My favorite is the cultivar ‘Peppermint Schnapps’. This six-foot shrub-like perennial has light pink blooms speckled with flecks of red. I brought it to Myriad as a division from a plant in my own garden, which was a division from my grandparent’s farm taken six years ago. It grows quickly and is easy to divide in spring.
Inside the
CRYSTAL BRIDGE
New Signs
Highlight Unusual and Notable Plants
As nice as it would be for every visitor to have their own personalized tour guide to take them through the Gardens and Conservatory, it simply isn’t always possible. Some people even prefer the self-paced and selective nature of self-guided tours and interpretive signs to tours. With this in mind, we’ve recently been working on a major overhaul of the interpretation inside the Crystal Bridge. We are replacing large, outdated interpretative signs with many smaller signs that highlight the many notable plants in the Conservatory. We are currently up to 35 of these signs and are working on more.
Currently included are fruits like guavas, pineapples and bananas; nuts and spices like black pepper, macadamia and nutmeg; interesting flowers like plumeria, lobster claws and joy perfume tree; and many other medicinal plants or commodities like coffee and chocolate. Each sign includes a photo of the fruit, flower or most interesting part of the plant along with a couple of very short and easy-to-read paragraphs highlighting the most interesting and important information about each plant. If you haven’t been through the Conservatory lately, come take a look, and you will probably learn about several cool plants you didn’t even know we had.
Jackfruit
WRITTEN BY Nate Tschaenn, Director of Horticulture
Indonesian Fruit Flowers Inside Conservatory
Five years ago we put together a small tropical fruits exhibit in the Crystal Bridge and purchased about a dozen fruit trees to complement the existing ones. Many, if not most, tropical fruit trees on the market cannot be purchased in fruiting size in Oklahoma, so some plants would need several years to grow and produce fruit if we could get them to fruit at all. But what is professional horticulture if not a test in patience and skill?
One of the plants we purchased for this display was jackfruit, which is known for having the largest tree-borne fruit. I had the opportunity to see some truly giant fruits, which can weigh up to 80 lbs, in Indonesia where they are quite common. Considering the large size of the fruits and the relatively small size of the sapling tree we received five years ago, it was doubtful
if we would ever get fruit. The tree has grown well over these few years but not very fast, so it was a surprise and delight this summer to find three flowers on the lowest branch of our little jackfruit tree. The flowers looked like green potatoes and contained thousands of tiny flowers.
Only one of these flower clusters went on to produce a fruit, which is growing well and about 10 inches long at the moment. When it’s fully grown and ripe the fruit can be split open to get to the sweet-tasting arils, which are the fleshy seed coatings. The taste is unique among fruits but has been described as being similar in flavor to Juicy Fruit gum. They are sweet enough to be used in dessert or made into juice.
Jackfruit has also become a popular meat substitute. The unripe fruits have a meat-like texture and more mild texture. If you’d like to try jackfruit for yourself, they are commonly sold at Super Cao Nguyen in the Asian District of Oklahoma City.

Gifts of all Sizes Help Keep the Gardens Beautiful and Vibrant SUPPORT
Annual Giving
WRITTEN BY Sarah Carson, Development Operations Coordinator
What is the Annual Garden Fund?
The Annual Garden Fund is our annual giving program, the vehicle for financial support from individuals who enjoy Myriad Botanical Gardens and want to contribute to our ongoing success. Annual gifts come in all sizes, from $5 to $5,000 on up. Truly every gift counts. The Annual Garden Fund is the lifeblood of our organization, providing unrestricted funding that keeps the Gardens running smoothly.
Explain unrestricted funding.
Unlike grants and sponsorships, which are designated for specific projects and events, unrestricted funding can be spent as it comes in and directed wherever the need is greatest. It allows flexibility to allocate resources strategically and enables the Gardens to take advantage of emerging opportunities and to respond to unanticipated needs and challenges.
Why is that important?
While we rely on our partnerships to provide quality education, fun public events and innovative garden projects, grants and sponsorships generally only cover direct costs. They pay for the performers we hire, materials for classes or plants for an updated garden. Unrestricted funding from the Annual Garden Fund covers expenses such as permits for events, new mulch or soil, storm cleanup, building maintenance, security, and expert staff to oversee everything.
Is Myriad Botanical Gardens a city park?
Why do you need donations?
While the Gardens began as a city park and remains unfenced and open to the public, we are a 501c3 tax exempt nonprofit organization and responsible for raising nearly $2.4 million each year to make our budget. To do this, we rely on memberships, grants, sponsorships, private donors and our Annual Garden Fund.
What is this year’s Annual Garden Fund goal?
For fiscal year 2019-2020, our Annual Garden Fund goal is $58,000. Annual gifts from individuals are vital to sustain the Gardens’ core mission to provide a beautiful urban greenspace that is free and open to the public while offering quality horticulture education, events and festivals for the community to enjoy. Funds raised are also used to help us meet a $50,000 matching grant with the Robert Glenn Rapp Foundation for our spring bulb display endowment.

DONOR PROFILES
Floyd’s RV Supports Camping and Outdoor Family Events
When the opportunity came to sponsor a camping-related event on the Devon Lawn at Myriad Botanical Gardens, Floyd’s RV of Norman jumped at the chance. After all, the family-owned business was founded on a love of the great outdoors, family and, of course, camping. Since sponsoring the successful #CampOutOKC in the summer of 2018, owner Robert Floyd signed on to sponsor a variety of events in 2019 including Dancing in the Gardens and the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock concert celebrated in the Gardens.
Patrons of events at the Gardens are a perfect audience for the Normanbased company that carries a large selection of new and pre-owned fifth wheel campers, tent trailers, toy haulers and travel trailers, all clearly visible from its location on Interstate 35 just south of Norman.
In 1969, Rex Floyd started a business that a half century later is a landmark in Oklahoma which is now owned and operated by his son Robert.
“Our mission is to provide our customers with the right RV that will sustain and fulfill their traveling adventures through this great nation, from the beaches of Florida, to the mountains of New Mexico, to the vineyards of California,” Floyd said. “We do not just provide our customers with a place to sleep and eat, we give them tools to accomplish their dream and experience things outside of their home state.”
Robert is continuing his dad’s passion for camping with his family and looks forward to one day teaching his grandchildren the love of the road. He is also following his dad’s example with philanthropic giving by supporting organizations like the Gardens because it promotes families getting out in nature and being together.

Gardens Perfect Partnership for Goldfish Swim School
With a goal of keeping children safe in, and around, water, Goldfish Swim School - Edmond quickly discovered the benefits of supporting Myriad Botanical Gardens. The school has been a partner and sponsor of many events and programs at the Gardens focused on children and families.
Owner Natasha Neumann describes her commitment to supporting the Gardens and the teaching philosophy of the cheerful swimming center.
“The Gardens have been a fixture in the Oklahoma City area for years and provides many educational experiences to the young minds of our city,” she said. “We are proud to support and partner with the Gardens as they continue to flourish.”
Opened in fall of 2017, the Edmond location provides swim instruction to children of all abilities, including those with sensory disorders, aged four months to 12 years. The school not only emphasizes swimming, but water safety as well. With so many activities available for families, Neumann stresses that learning to swim is an important skill because it can literally save lives.
The behind-the-scenes life skills kids learn during swim lessons include learning, observing, actively doing, building trust, confidence, independence, and peer relationships.
Supporting Myriad Botanical Gardens goes hand-in-hand with the philosophy of Goldfish Swim School and has been a key partnership for Neumann.
