St. Louis is home to the largest botanical gardens in the western hemisphere, The Missouri Botanical Gardens. My dear friend, Lydia, and I recently visited and had ourselves THE BEST time! As you’ll see from my photos, it was a rainy day, which certainly kept the crowds away, allowing us three and a half hours of botanical bliss! We were both taking so many photos that I thought it’d be selfish not to share what I captured. So please, do enjoy!
If you liked what you saw here then you should go see it for yourself! The Gardens are open Tuesdays through Sundays from 9:00 a.m. till 5:00 p.m.. Tickets are Free for Members, otherwise they’re $14 for the General Public ages 13 and up and children 12 and under are Free. Residents of St. Louis City and County can get $6 tickets with proof of residency! Like I said, we had ourselves THE BEST time taking in all the scenery and serenity, so I implore you to go and treat yourself to a day in the gardens, you certainly won’t regret it!
I consider myself a local artist, after all, I’m not only a blogger, but an author as well. So needless to say, it’s important to me to showcase other local talents when I can and let me tell you what, my friend Lydia is exactly just that! She has her very own line of jewelry, BP Magic Bracelets, and I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND you check out her gorgeous wristwear collections! She can be found on Instagram @bpmagicbracelets! Being a proud owner of some of her bracelets myself, I can attest that they’re all made with the finest quality materials and crafted and constructed in THE BEST manner! I promise you, you’ll LOVE her work! So do yourself a favor and see what she’s got! She’s always unveiling new designs, so check back often!
Well, as always, THANK YOU so much for viewing! I truly appreciate each and every one of you! PLEASE feel free to leave me a comment below! I absolutely LOVE reading and responding to them! I’ll be back with another all new post shortly, but until then, I wish you all, all the best!
Lovely post this week! I grew up near St. Louis and I’ve only visited the Botanical Gardens once, sadly to say. After seeing these photos I’m definitely going to plan a trip to see it again. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thank you for viewing! I’m surprised to learn you’ve only ever been once! Next time you’re down here we’ve gotta go! I can get you in for free like I did Lydia since I’m a member! It’ll be the best time!
Some really great pics! Thanks for sharing with us! Can’t believe how there was nobody there!
Thank you so much & yes! The rain gave us the perfect day!
Usually it’s sunny and bright but the rain and clouds gave a new and interesting perspective! Also – Lydia is killing it in that outfit!
She was – as she always is – dressed to impress! The rain was wonderful! You would’ve loved it!
