Carl Linnaeus presides over his garden, shaded by Eastern Red Cedars.
Rosalind Cook and Barry Fugatt unveil the Linnaeus statue on June 8, 2006.
The Outdoor Classroom is right around the corner from the Linnaeus statue.
The floor of the classroom is built above the ground so that the tree roots will not be damaged or the earth around them compacted.
Cool breezes and a great view make this a good spot for a casual lunch.
On the curved wall behind the statue of Carl Linnaeus are ten ceramic tiles by Tulsa artist Cynthia Harris. Each depicts a different flower.

Looking south from the Linnaeus statue a portion of the Learning Center and the Greenhouse are visible.
The south side of the Linnaeus statue pavilion overlooks a portion of the Main Garden and the Learning Center, highlighted by Pink Velour Crape Myrtle in the center of the picture.
