A Storm of Swords
Lady Olenna came to King's Landing to attend the wedding of her granddaughter, Margaery Tyrell, to King Joffrey I. During a supper with Margaery and a number of noble ladies of houses sworn to the Tyrells, Olenna sharply questions Sansa Stark about Joffrey's nature. She refused to listen to Sansa's evasions and half truths about Joffrey and got Sansa to speak the truth about Joffrey's cruelty and the beatings he gave her. To prevent any potential spy from listening to Sansa, Lady Olenna ordered her jester, Butterbumps, to sing loudly.[3]
Olenna plotted to marry Sansa Stark to her grandson Willas, but the plot was foiled by Littlefinger before it could come to fruition. Olenna is present at the wedding feast when Joffrey dies from drinking poisoned wine.
Littlefinger implies to Sansa Stark that Olenna is the one who poisoned King Joffrey at his wedding, with some help from himself and his co-conspirators. If so it is also feasible that her granddaughter Margaery knew of the plot due to the fact both she and Joffrey drank from the same wedding cup, so it stands to reason Margaery would have known when not to drink from the cup as Olenna would not risk poisoning her own granddaughter whom she loved. It is very unlikely that Mace Tyrell knew of the plot as Olenna frequently refers to her son as an "oaf."
Olenna most likely poisoned Joffrey to spare her granddaughter Margaery from the same cruelty the boy showed Sansa Stark. According to Littefinger, Olenna knew Mace dreamed of his daughter Maargaery becoming Queen and for that they needed a king, but they did not need Joffrey.
A Feast for Crows
Lady Olenna attends the funeral of Lord Tywin Lannister with her family.[4] After Margaery was wed to King Tommen, Olenna returned to Highgarden when her grandson, Ser Garlan Tyrell.

She keeps it for the occasions unwary tradespeople who offend her name a price in an amount of gold coins. She pays them in the old gold coins of the Reach, which are only half the weight of newly minted gold dragons.[5]
One of these said coins was found in the dungeon where Tyrion was being held before his escape (likely planted there by Varys), so Cersei assumed the Tyrells aided her brother in his escape, thus implicating them in the assassination of Lord Tywin.
