L.A. Cann Botanical Gardens
Cann Gardens is an estate given to the City of Ponca City by Elsie Cann Brown, daughter of LA and Mary Cann in August 1975.
Lester Cann was an early pillar of the community serving over 25 years as a commissioner and City Manager. The estate was donated with the stipulation that it would be maintained as a memorial garden for uses of the people of Ponca City and as a meeting place for the numerous Garden Clubs.
The two story farm house built in 1908 has been refurbished with a beautiful shaded patio area with over 2,500 feet of walkways. There is also a formal garden containing several hundred varieties of annuals and perennials planted in unique color displays. There are over 100 species of trees that have been planted since 1980 and more to be added in the future.
