Step inside a curated journey through one of Oklahoma City’s most historic neighborhoods. In today’s video, we’re hosting the Boutique Garden Tour at a stunning 1928 Spanish Colonial Revival in Lincoln Terrace.
From the arrival of the tour bus to the narrow, lush garden paths, we explore the unique challenges and joys of maintaining a 98-year-old estate. We’ll take a look at:
Historical Architecture: The rare Spanish Colonial style in the heart of OKC.
Plant Highlights: Managing the “invasive” beauty of the Chameleon plant and the charm of Myrtle Topiaries.
Interior Design: The stories behind the gallery walls and the unique “exotic” paper plants.
A Personal Connection: A fascinating conversation about synesthesia and how it influences garden design.
Mentioned in this video:
Location: Lincoln Terrace, Oklahoma City
Paint Color: Sherwin Williams Blue (featured inside)
Plants: Myrtle Topiaries, Chameleon Plant, Southern Living Plants collection

It's always a treat to see john's house inside & out. Just beautifully decorated! 🥰
So beautiful. ❤the yard is really lovely. I live in Fresno California and I just keep marveling at how much Oklahoma City's neighborhoods look like Fresno!!! Anyway our climate is a bit different. We are zone 9b which presents its challenges, but surprisingly similar to yours. I am learning a lot from you so thanks!❤❤❤
Gasp!! I would have been absolutely DELIGHTED for this visit at John's beautiful home and garden. John, thank you for inviting us into your home. Linda, I have to say that you 'hit it out of the park' regarding your Tour. Perhaps it will be an annual??
John I was so surprised to see that you were growing the chameleon plant. You have much more courage than I do. I especially loved the green bathroom. Thanks so much for a good time and joining us when we were on the road to other destinations
John is such a lovely person. I love watching your videos with him in them. His home and garden are gorgeous!
Love John and love his home so much
It was so fun to see all the visitors at John's house. His yard is one of my favorites and it looked so good !
What a pleasant tour. Nothing rushed, time to see all the eye candy, and getting to meet your guests. Please give John my kudos for such a spectacular tour🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Enjoyed this so much…what a great advertisement for your next one!
Beautifully presented. John's exceptuonal talent on full display ❤
Beautiful! Fabulous! Most of all inviting!
A feast for the eyes ❤
John’s yard has never looked better! I love the use of the deep blue pots. The way you see them doesn’t overwhelm the plants or the garden.
John,you are so brave to open your home to all these dear people !!! Everything looks so lovely as per usual.Linda,I hope you will repeat this experience next year and pretty please reserve some spaces for folks like me from Canada.Susan who lives an hour north of Toronto and who is still wearing a winter coat.Blessings to all !!!1
Had to fast forward to the interior shots, John’s home never disappoints❤ he’s a favorite✔️

Loved the tour… John, you have a lovely home & garden.
What a successful tour! Linda is a perfect host, and John is always so gracious. Stewart, the quiet footage made me feel I had gotten a special tour after the guests had been escorted to the bus. Thanks for thinking of us.

LOVE John’s house and garden! Stewart, the music was too LOUD and drowned out John’s welcome speech. For future reference it is unnecessary. Every thing else was great. Thanks for the private tour, your videography was spectacular as always! ❤❤❤

Can never get tired on touring John’s charming home! ❤
