This was taken at The Missouri Botanical Gardens, St. Louis, Mo. This quiet pathway leads to an observatory which give the visitor prime views of the Victorian Garden, the maze, and many other beautiful sites that only a tower can give.
Founded in 1859, the Missouri Botanical Garden is one of the oldest botanical institutions in the United States and a National Historic Landmark. The Garden is a center for botanical research and science education of international repute, as well as an oasis in the city of St. Louis, with 79 acres of horticultural display. It includes a 14-acre Japanese strolling garden named Seiwa-en; the Climatron geodesic dome conservatory; a children's garden, including a pioneer village; a playground; a fountain area and a water locking system, somewhat similar to the locking system at the Panama Canal; an Osage camp; and Henry Shaw�s original 1850 estate home. It is adjacent to Tower Grove Park, another of Shaw's legacies.
In 1983, the Botanical Garden was added as the fourth subdistrict of the Metropolitan Zoological Park and Museum District.
