"To discover and share knowledge about plants and their environment in order to preserve and enrich life." 
 Missouri Botanical Garden mission

One of the highlights of our trip to Missouri was going to the Missouri Botanical Garden.  I have used their website often when researching new plants I am interested in.  It is extremely informative and easy to use.

The Garden,  founded in 1859 by Henry Shaw.  It is the nation's oldest botanical garden in continuous operation and a National Historic Landmark with a center for botanical research and science education, as well as an oasis in the city of St. Louis. There are 79 acres of beautiful gardens, including a 14-acre Japanese strolling garden, a geodesic dome conservatory, Henry Shaw's original 1850 estate home, and one of the world's largest collections of rare and endangered orchids.

Here is a small sampling of what the garden has to offer:

The garden hosts many special events, one of which will be the subject of a future post.

If you are ever in St Louis, I highly recommend a visit to the Missouri Botanical Garden.  You will not be disappointed .

Have a fun day!
Cynthia
