Tulsa Botanic Garden | Master Plan
Tres Fromme facilitated collaboration among Garden Staff, Board, and designers from Howell Vancuren (Tulsa, OK) and Studio Outside to create a compelling framework for the Garden's formation. The planning process envisions displays, gardens, buildings, and facilities to express the Garden's distinct regional identity, realize the ideal visitor experience, and support fiscal sustainability. Fromme wrote an inspirational narrative and drew plan and perspective drawings to support the Garden in its development and marketing endeavors.
Fromme has remained involved as a key planner and designer on projects of all scales since the Master Plan’s completion. The Garden has constructed and opened several significant projects based on the Master Plan since 2012: the Tandy Floral Terraces, the Children’s Discovery Garden, and the Horticulture Facility. The Grange, a multi-purpose building adjacent to the Children’s Discovery Garden opened in 2017. The Entry and All Seasons Gardens completed design under Fromme’s leadership. The Lotus Pool and Liberty Garden opened in 2023. Fromme also envisioned the Garden’s successful Holiday Light Show from 2018-2019.
