Spacious grounds with reasonable entry fee. Gorgeous flowers, shrubs, trees. Enjoy the smells of the Mediterranean House and the tropical ambiance of the Climatron (great place to visit in February).

One of the most lovely outdoor spaces you will find anywhere. The research component of MOBOT is among the best in the world. The Wednesday night concerts during the summer with free admission are not to be missed. Bring good food, a few bottles of wine, and friends for a great evening.

The Missouri Botanical Garden (aka "Shaw's Garden") is one of the most beautiful spots in the city of St. Louis. There are many paths, which makes it easy if...

Its the second best garden Ive ever seen. I must rate Buechart Gradens in Victoria Canada the best although not as versatile.
