Sixteen Oaks Botanical Garden offers a sanctuary where the community can learn about horticulture, participate in ecological preservation, and enjoy the serenity of our thematic gardens and diverse plant life.
At Sixteen Oaks Botanical Garden, we are dedicated to revitalizing the connection between communities and nature. Our garden serves as an educational hub where visitors can immerse themselves in a variety of horticultural and agricultural programs. From observing the unique behaviors of native plants like the sensitive vine and upside-down butterfly pea to participating in our workshops on native plant identification and floral arrangements, we provide hands-on experiences that enhance ecological awareness and promote environmental stewardship.
Beyond educational offerings, Sixteen Oaks is a place of tranquility and engagement. Our beautifully curated gardens are not only educational but also provide a space for relaxation and recreation. With walking trails, a bicycle path, and river landing for kayaking, we foster a deep connection with nature while contributing to the well-being of our visitors. We celebrate this connection through community-driven events such as plant sales, corn mazes, and family-friendly races, making Sixteen Oaks a cornerstone for community vitality and environmental education.
