Lendonwood Gardens

Lendonwood Gardens is a botanical garden in Grove, Oklahoma, spread across eight acres with distinct garden sections. The grounds feature Japanese maples, dogwoods, azaleas, and large rhododendron collections alongside over 500 daylily varieties.

The garden started as a modest plant collection and grew into one of the largest botanical sanctuaries in northeastern Oklahoma. This growth allowed it to develop extensive specialized collections that draw visitors from across the region.

The Oklahoma section displays certified plants that reflect the state's farming traditions and show what grows naturally in this region. You can walk through and see how local agriculture shaped the plants people grow here.

The grounds are extensive, so it helps to start at the Welcome Center to understand the layout and available sections. Plan to spend several hours walking through the different garden areas, and wear comfortable shoes since the paths cover the full eight acres.

The garden holds one of the Southwest's largest rhododendron collections with 250 varieties, many of which bloom in spring. This focus on rhododendrons makes it a destination for people who want to see these flowering plants at their peak.
