Missouri Botanical Gardens

Join the Missouri Botanical Garden in making this a summer of sustainability and learn how to help your family, friends, and coworkers live green. Meet sustainability experts and dive into a day of learning, exploring, and engaging at institutions throughout the heart of St. Louis.

Spring brings the garden bug. No, not that kind of bug – the itch to plant, to sow, to grow. And if you enjoy growing herbs to cook with or use in other ways, learn where you can get your garden-gloved mitts on top-quality herb plants.

Spring is definitely in the air and kites should be, too! On Saturday, April 1, you have the perfect opportunity to make that happen and send a kite soaring skyward. Prefer a more down-to-earth pursuit? This event offers that, as well.

Explore new and expanded attractions throughout the Show-Me State. The name’s Missouri, but you can call me Mo. I’m excited to show you a few of the destinations and experiences that opened up around Missouri in the past year.
