Publish Date: 05/20/2014 TEEMCO Invites You to Chill Out at Acoustic Thursdays at the Ice House Plaza at Myriad Botanical Gardens TEEMCO is bringing a series of super chill acoustic performances to the Gardens, making the Ice House plaza the coolest place to be on Thursday evenings in May, June and July There are typically two performers per evening, with each performing a 45-minute set. Performances are from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. and are free to the public. The Ice House will be open during the performances, serving tasty Nic’s burgers and ice cold beverages, and the Park House patio will be open with great happy hour food and drink specials. It will definitely be THE spot to kick back and unwind after a busy day. T E E M C O ’s C E O , G r e g L o r s o n , believes strongly in giving back to the community his company calls home, and feels that adding a music series to the Gardens is a great way to do that. “We love the beauty of the Myriad Gardens and we love great music, so it was a natural for us to put the two together. We’re very excited, and will be announcing two additional larger concerts very soon,” Lorson said. The Myriad Botanical Gardens is one of Oklahoma City’s most beloved public spaces, offering its visitors a 15 acre natural escape in the very heart of downtown. A halfacre children’s garden, an off-leash dog park, restaurant space, splash fountains, and paths for walking and jogging provide guests young and old with a place to seek solitude with nature, or seek community and the company of others. Additionally, the Myriad Gardens offers a variety of horticultural education programs for adults and children. T h e C r y s t a l B r i d g e Tr o p i c a l Conser vator y’s unique design has earned attention and praise in the architectural community. It is 224 feet long, 70 feet in diameter, and is covered by 3,028 sections of translucent, double-layered acr ylic panels. The Conservatory includes 13,000 square feet of plant display area in two distinct climates: the Tropical Wet Zone, which is at the south end and is watered daily; and the Tropical Dr y Zone at the north end which receives water from April t h r o u g h S e p t e m b e r, f o l l o w e d b y drought from November through March. Some 2,000 varieties of plants and a 35-foot waterfall round out the spectacular features of the Conservatory. Bohanan, B.
