The park has many flower gardens cared for by volunteers. Some volunteers work on a specific garden plot while others volunteer at several locations.
The wildflower/pollinator garden at the park office is an ongoing project of the park's past and present environmental educators in conjunction with the Master Gardeners and the Friends of Oil Creek State Park. Phase 1 of the project which was completed in 2021 is composed of native wildflowers that are either adapted to the local climate or are self seeding for regrowth the following season. Maintenance on the garden is done each spring by volunteers with the financial support of the Friends. Volunteers work to weed, replant, mulch, water and trim the gardens throughout the growing season. Phase 2 is in the planning stage and will involve the addition of some raised beds.
