For many years, Tulsans have purchased memorials in Woodward Park, particularly within the Tulsa Rose Garden.
Not only do these memorials honor loved ones from the past and present, but they also help beautification of one of Tulsa’s most beloved parks. Now, those interested in memorializing a friend or family member have the opportunity to purchase a hand-made Seibert & Rice, Italian terracotta pot, with an inscription of their choosing, that will be planted and placed within the historic Tulsa Rose Garden at Woodward Park.
Seibert & Rice artisan rolled rim pots are made entirely by hand, without the assistance of molds, in a workshop in Impruneta, Italy, that dates back to the 1600’s. The large pots are built using the “coil method,” where the potter rolls out a coil of clay and, walking around in a circle, carefully and skillfully builds up the walls of the pot. The result is a distinctively handmade-looking planter that is truly a piece of art.
Included with the 32” pot is a personalized inscription, pedestal feet, planting material, installation and 10 years of maintenance. If you're interested and would like to know more, you may shop below.
