Oklahoma City, OK – March 27, 2024 – Join the Myriad Gardens Foundation for an evening amidst the urban oasis of downtown Oklahoma City at 'Splendor in the Gardens.'

Scheduled for Thursday, May 16, with cocktails at 6 pm, the event will commence in the South Plaza at the Inasmuch Foundation Crystal Bridge Conservatory, followed by a seated dinner that promises to be as delightful. This year, the event is will offer guests an extraordinary taste of the rainforest, with specially curated food and wines that celebrate the verdant bounty of nature.

The evening honors the esteemed Jim Loftis, FAIA, for his exceptional architectural contribution to the design of the Crystal Bridge Conservatory in the early 1980s. His unwavering dedication to the conservation and beautification of the Myriad Gardens remains as vibrant today as when he first laid his visionary touch on the Conservatory's interior.
