Missouri Botanical Garden

Since its inception in 1859, the Missouri Botanical Garden is one of the oldest botanical institutions in the country and a National Historic Landmark.

The Missouri Botanical Garden features flower shows, live music, and education and fitness activities throughout the year. From Orchid Show in February, to the languid Wednesday nights of the Whitaker Music Festival all summer long, to the three- day celebration of Japanese Festival on Labor- Day weekend, to the sentimental favorite Garden land Express holiday flower and train show, there's something for everyone at any time of year.

The Missouri Botanical Garden provides a place for gardeners to find instruction, expert advice, and inspiration at the Kemper Center for Home Gardening. With professional staff experts, adult education classes, reference library and website, and eight acres of display gardens, the Center is the largest and best- supplied gardener's resource in the country.

The Garden has worked since 2002 to facilitate improved learning and teaching in surrounding public schools, growing young minds for future greatness.

Hours : 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., Daily (closed Christmas).
