The Missouri Botanical Garden, also known locally as "Shaw's Garden", was founded in 1859 by Henry Shaw, a successful St. Louis businessman, who was inspired by the gardens of his home country of England. Shaw wanted his garden to be educational, a place for scientific research, as well as a beautiful display of horticulture.
Today, the garden is a National Historic Landmark and continues to lead the world in botanical research. Visitors are delighted by the garden's most popular attraction, the Japanese Garden, a 14 acre strolling garden with a four-acre lake filled with Koi, waterfalls, islands and several Japanese bridges. Another popular attraction is the Climatron, a geodesic-domed conservatory that houses many endangered species of tropical rain forests. There are other diverse gardens that showcase English woodlands, exotic Turkish plantings, a Chinese garden and a Children's garden that highlights the wetlands and prairies of the Midwest. The Missouri Botanical Garden hosts many festivals and art exhibits throughout the year. An admission fee is charged.
