Announces

2010 Portraits of a Garden Photo Contest and Exhibit

Winners

 It was a chilling day on January 21, but at the Tulsa Garden Center it was like taking a walk through a spring garden as the Portraits of a Garden Amateur Photography Contest & Exhibition opening reception began at 5:00 pm with over 100 guests attending.

Area amateur photographers submitted 600 gorgeous photos for this years contest.  The judges, Richard Waters, amateur photographer; Natalie Green, professional photographer, and Mary Jo Sartain, Tulsa International Mayfest Festival chair had a hard time choosing the winners as all the photos were exceptional.  These photos were on exhibit from January 22rd through 30th.  Tulsa Garden Center would like to thank all the photographers that participated as they made this an extraordinary Portraits of a Garden.
