Getting ready for Christmas at the Botanical Garden
A nice way to start the season is to visit Missouri Botanical Garden’s Garden Glow. A walk through the park gives you scene after scene of the upcoming holiday. See the Climatron with its reflecting pools, walk through Henry Shaws home, see the beautifully decorated gatehouse and endless holiday lights. The grandkids love the trainContinue reading “Getting ready for Christmas at the Botanical Garden”
Gates
This is an interesting view at the Missouri Botanical Garden. These gates are directly in front of Henry Shaw’s home (behind me in this view) allowing a direct view through another set of gates to the Linnean House, quite a distance away. To the right of one of the posts is the Henry Shaw Mausoleum.Continue reading “Gates”
Groundskeeper’s House
Exploring the Missouri Botanical Garden, this is one of my favorite buildings. In 1895, the Cleveland Avenue Gatehouse, now named the Herring House, was constructed in accordance with Henry Shaw’s will to be a residence for the Garden’s groundskeeper. The surrounding new landscape design was inspired by influential British horticulturist Gertrude Jekyll. The rear garden willContinue reading “Groundskeeper’s House”
Fall colors at the Missouri Botanical Garden
While taking a Fall walk through the Missouri Botanical Garden, I found this area I had never seen before. These are the best fall colors in the area, in an unusual setting. These are possibly plum trees. Click on the photo to purchase. Click here to see more of the Missouri Botanical Garden.
Neodymium Reeds
I do not know what Neodymium Reeds are but they make an interesting subject for a Chihuly display. This display was created by Dale Chihuly for the Missouri Botanical Garden. Chihuly says that his art is blown glass, “moving it into the realm of large-scale sculpture.” These displays are spread around the Garden making itContinue reading “Neodymium Reeds”
Niijima Foats with Float Boat
Chihuly in the Garden is the latest of our Missouri Botanical Garden’s events. I took advantage of an unpublicized “photographer’s night” and was able to wander around the grounds to see the displays both in daylight and after dark. This is one of the displays in the Climatron. I have processed most of my photosContinue reading “Niijima Foats with Float Boat”
Japanese Garden Bridge
One of the nicest areas of the Missouri Botanical Garden is the Japanese Garden. The area has flowering trees, a lake and bridge. The Japanese Garden, one of the largest in North America and represents an evolution of centuries of tradition and a multiplicity of distinctly Japanese cultural influences. Incorporating carefully designed plantings, waterfalls, beachesContinue reading “Japanese Garden Bridge”
Christmas Garden
Henry Shaw’s home is ready for Christmas. This is the home of Henry Shaw on the grounds of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Henry Shaw was a businessman and amateur botanist in St. Louis when it was a gateway city to the West. His businesses supplied residents, pioneers and others. Having made his fortune, he wasContinue reading “Christmas Garden”
Hope you have a magical holiday!
