Tulsa Botanic Garden prepares to open two new major destinations: The Lotus Pool and the Liberty Garden. The former celebrates the emotional associations and horticultural possibilities open water creates in Oklahoma. The latter is a peninsula intended for community events and private rentals. Fromme was lead designer on both projects. Manhattan Construction and JonesPlan built both spaces.

Fernwood Botanical Garden invited 3. Fromme Design to continue expanding their successful Holiday light show. Fromme designed the show’s first year and developed additional experiences for the second. The current design phase adds new features for years three and four (2023-2024). A recent workshop involved the Fernwood team in evaluating the first two years and envisioning the future.

Fromme continues his collaborations with the Atlanta Botanical Garden on creating the Flower Walk’s marquee floricultural displays. Temporary mirrored walls reinvent the linear planting space into a series of sparkling rooms bursting with color.

Tres Fromme has been the Huntsville Botanical Garden’s Designer In Residence since 2022. He recently facilitated Garden leadership through a series of creative explorations to develop an initial conceptual, spatial, and interpretive framework for the proposed Adventure Garden. Fromme is also leading a team of staff and HDLA to develop an overall master site plan of which a Learning Campus is a critical component.

Fromme recently spent two days on site brainstorming design concepts with Tulsa Botanic Garden leadership. These potential gardens could form the basis of future Master Plan capital projects. Fromme led the development of the original Master Plan a decade ago, and has remained involved in its ongoing evolution.
