What a great gift back to the community.
My wife and I own and operate a Greater St. Louis bed and breakfast. Visiting the gardens is on our “top ten” list of things we recommend for our guests to see and do while in St. Louis.
When you go, plan on spending a good part of the day. Take a ride the tram to get an overview of the gardens. Then take time to “stop and smell the roses” (as well as all the other flowers).
Also be sure to take a tour of Henry Shaw’s home.
