The Jewel Box is really a jewel amidst St. Louis. Sprawling in an area of 17- acres of luscious green space in Forest Park, the Jewel Box has been St. Louis' premiere display greenhouse since opening in 1936. It is operated by the Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry. The Art deco floral conservatory is recently remodeled, with hundreds of flowers.
It was designed by city engineer William C. E. Becker and Robert Paulus Construction Co. was the contractor.
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the 50- feet high, 55- feet wide and 144- feet long landmark flaunts floral displays that stay firmly planted year round
The Jewel Box has special flower shows at Christmas, early spring, Easter, Mother's Day, a summer show and the chrysanthemum show in the fall. It has tropical trees, foliage plants, flowers, a new water feature and fountain year round.
Today it is an aged St. Louis treasure that has been restored to its former glory. What sparkles to the eye and appeals to the heart most is the vibrancy of colors that nature has bestowed upon them. The refreshing vivacity affirms the fact that life is beautiful.
