    Hummingbird garden
    Maggie D.

    *** Review is during COVID-19 *** This is a cool outdoor spot for something different to do. I wish we had gone in spring, when the flowers were more "in bloom", but it still looked nice in the summer. It was sort of drizzling when we went, so we were pretty much the only ones there. So it was really easy to social distance, haha! I imagine that even on busier days, you wouldn't have too much trouble spreading out with 8 acres of space. Plus, they do have some precautions in place as well, like limiting the number of people there at once. Plant and flower enthusiasts should definitely pay a visit! Everything was labeled very well, so if you're super interested in horticulture you'd probably find lots of different stuff here. I'm not much of a gardener at all (especially when it comes to flowers) but it was still cool to walk around even for me. The trail was well kept (as was the garden itself) and there were plenty of benches to sit throughout. I liked how they had different garden areas. I do think they could have been more distinctly separated from the next, but it still worked. One of them is even an "Oklahoma Garden" with things all native (or at least common?) to the area! Other memorable features to me were the koi pond (which you can pay a small amount for food to feed them), a pretty gazebo (I believe they do weddings here?), and bridges with little waterfalls. There is a self guided tour that is pretty easy to follow. I'm really bad at directions and get lost easily, and I could figure it out! You can get a map at the front with numbers that correspond to number signs placed throughout the garden. The self-guided tour is also a good way to see everything quickly/ the highlights, if you're not someone who necessarily feels the need to look closely at every single plant.

    We went back to atm to get cash to self pay as no one was in the office. A disappointment. Two stars for a few bright spots, such as the butterfly garden sans butterflies and shady benches. It's a bit like an abandoned garden; overgrown, undertended, poorly propagated. When we left, the office was open with a gift shop. However, no one said hello, addressed our needs, or asked about our visit. Someone needs to step up and give a little TLC to what I can see could be a lovely oasis.

    I found this place while exploring around the lake and decided to stop by, it only costs a few dollars and it was worth it! The gardens are pretty small but very pretty. My favorite part was the koi pond with fish feed for sale to feed them. There wasn't really a whole lot to do here but it was a nice place to come for some shade, a quick walk and to take some pictures. They do allow you to rent the place out for events and I'm sure anyone who schedules this place for photos, that they'll turn out really nice.

    According to their brochure and website, Lendonwood is a non-profit organization that is totally supported by volunteers, donations, and a few big sponsors (Walton Family Foundation, Arvest and other area banks). It is open year-round and is free (although a $5 donation is suggested). The garden sets on six acres but it seems so much bigger. The garden boasts the largest collection of rhododendrons in the Southwest. It also contains one of the largest collections of chamaecyparis (false cypress) in the U.S. There are 500 varieties of day lillies, seventy-five varieties of Japanese maples, 125 varieties of hostas, and twenty-five varieties of dogwoods. There were two almost separate gardens (in fact, you cross across other people's yards to get there)--the azalea garden (which truly seemed like the extension of a private property) and The Angel of Hope garden. I am wondering if maybe these people did not donate the six acres for the gardens. If not, what a gem to have right next door. My photos were taken in the summer but I would love to visit this garden during all seasons. It is open dusk to dawn, seven days a week. What a testament to the volunteers who take care of this oasis.

    We've always drove past this place while visiting grove Oklahoma and it always peaked my interest! We finally ended up going on our way out back to Kansas, and let me say it was one of the highlights of our trip. I've already told my family this place is first on our list of excursions for next years trip!!! This garden is insanely beautiful and magical. It felt like we stepped into another world, one with beautiful flowers, trees, and monarch butterflies. We also had the pleasure of being helped by the sweetest woman on the planet! I'm still upset we didn't get her name, but the blonde hair blue eyed sweetie that worked 07/29/22 around 10 am deserves all the praise! She was so sweet her attitude undoubtedly made the experience that much better. Even gave us more recommendations for fun places around grove. This is a beautiful place for all ages to experience! Would give 10 stars if the app let me! Cheers from two Kansans

    This was such a nice stop on my drive from Joplin to Tulsa. It really is a beautiful space with all the nature sounds your ears crave and lots of seating to take a moment and enjoy.

    Azaleas at Lendonwood Gardens

    My husband Kenneth and I visited a Lendonwood Gardens recently and it was just beautiful. It is a small garden in Grove, Oklahoma and is free, but there is a suggested $5 donation. The day we visited, everything was in bloom and the azaleas were amazing! I love the Japan garden! There is a tea house with a koi pond. You can feed the koi and the location is picturesque. I would recommend visiting Lendonwood Gardens if you're in the Grove area. It's a great place to visit.

    If botanical gardens are your thing (or your better half's thing), come and see this one. Very peaceful, very pleasant.

    Very nice place to take visitors. Very peaceful and the price was right! Go in the spring, and fall. Summer is too hot.

They went above and beyond to deliver a breathtaking floral arrangement for my aunt's funeral, and their dedication left me in awe. I realized at 6 AM that ordering flowers was now fell to me and placed an order with The Rusty Willow the morning of the funeral, realizing it was asking a lot to have an arrangement made and delivered 25 miles away in another town within 4 hours. You can imagine how delighted I was to find this beautiful spray of flowers next to the casket when I arrived from out of state at 10 that morning. The Rusty Willow demonstrated incredible professionalism, skill, and empathy. They turned a stressful situation into a heartwarming memory. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of not only stunning floral arrangements but also reliable and compassionate florists. Many thanks to the Rusty Willow for your exceptional service and for helping us pay a beautiful tribute to my beloved aunt. You truly deserve all five stars and more.
