Missouri Botanical Garden

Victoria 'Longwood Hybrid' in front of the Climatron

Last month, I visited St. Louis, MO to speak at the Missouri Master Gardener Conference.  While I was in town I was able to visit the Missouri Botanical Garden.  MoBot is a 79 acre garden that opened in 1859!  It's incredible horticultural displays include a large conservatory (the "Climatron"), demonstration gardens, formal gardens, international gardens, and historic gardens.  I had the opportunity to spend the day touring the garden with the staff and learning all about their amazing plant collections.
