Welcome to the John E. Kirkpatrick Horticulture Center
The John E. Kirkpatrick Horticulture Center at OSU-Oklahoma City is one of the finest
horticultural education facilities in the country.
The facility is situated on 40 acres, carefully planned and planted with demonstration
gardens for flowers, fruits and vegetables, and tree and shrub collections, which
serve as outdoor classrooms. Most of the plant materials in the gardens are marked
to allow visitors to identify plants as they stroll through them. Currently, specific
garden areas of the Kirkpatrick Horticulture Center include the
Path of Life Rose Garden, the Sensational Garden,
the Community Garden, the
Butterfly Garden, and the Tree and Shrub Arboretum.
The greenhouse range is filled with the most advanced
heating and cooling equipment available and provides students with access to the
latest in production technology.
A Turfgrass Management Training Center, which includes a
five-hole teaching and demonstration golf course and soccer field, provides the
latest techniques in turf management to students.
The Horticulture Center also hosts the OSU-OKC Farmers Market.
This year-round market features 100% Oklahoma grown produce, meats, dairy, plants
and flowers.
