(True Confession Time – This photo is a couple of years old. I am so ashamed! But how can you do a post about the Linnaeus Teaching Gardens without a picture of Carl Linnaeus? The rest of the photos are just a couple week old, honest, really, yes really.)
A couple of weeks ago I found myself with a few minutes to spare between engagements so I went through the Linnaeus Teaching Gardens at Woodward Park here in Tulsa. It is a lot of garden shoehorned nicely into a relatively small space. It has also got lots of shadows.
(The couple on the left were courting the 21st century way: Texting!. Holding hands is so 20th century.)
The entrance is very inviting and shady. You can just barely see Carl way down at the end of the walk.
There are tables and chairs for relaxing.
And benches.
(Maybe here is where I tell you that the gardens are now closed until Mother’s Day. Sorry.)
And stone seating areas.
