Hambrick Botanical Gardens

The Hambrick Botanical Gardens are a set of landscaped gardens in Oklahoma City, OK, laid out beside Oklahoma City's National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, on the museum's own grounds. Water, trees, flower beds and sculpture make them a restful stretch of green and a natural way to finish a museum visit. They sit less than a mile off the old road on the city's northeast side.
