A Trip to the Garden

August 15th, 2013

If you live in St. Louis and you say you are “going to the garden”, it only means one thing. You are going to the Missouri Botanical Garden.  We treat this amazing garden as our own and love it as if it was in our own backyard.   My friend from England, who has traveled the world over visiting public gardens, and has very famous ones in her own “back yard”,  like Sissinghurst to name one, loves our garden.  So when she was here to visit recently we took a trip to the garden.  Here are a few photos.

One thing the garden does is send emails about what is currently blooming , so I won’t miss the blossoms of the cherry trees in the Japanese Garden, the sacred lotus,  lilies  and other not to be missed wonders. Today I got an email that the water lilies are blooming.  I think I will be going to the garden soon.
