Lori Fry

Tulsa Botanic Garden

Nursery and Plant Collections Manager

• Recipient of the Oklahoma Nursery and Landscape Association Green Industry Professional Award.
• Due to pandemic, TBG’s in-person plant sale had to pivot to online-only sales format and sold more plants than ever as Lori’s passion helped bring marketing, horticulture, and retail staff together to meet and exceed sales goals.

One Quiet Hobby; One Not So Quiet: When she’s not working, Lori is an avid quilter and makes at least one quilt a month. She is also learning how to play the bagpipes.

A Family Promise: Last year, Lori wrote a book about her Great Uncle Bert. It was no easy undertaking since she knew very little about him but “when my grandmother was dying, she made me promise her that I would not forget her beloved brother.”
