Part II - Missouri Botanical Garden!

I hope that you didn't miss my Part I of the Missouri Botanical Gardens, but it you did, you can see them HERE.


To refrensh your memory, Hubby and I visited St. Louis on the 4th of July with a mini vacation and I have got to tell you, after seeing these stunning urns filled with succlents, I wanted to come home and make one for my yard! Just absolutely 2-die-4!!!
These graced each side of the Tower Grove House that Mr. Shaw used to live in. What a WOW-Factor these were!
Look at the close-up. It is a foam oasis inside to hold these Hen's and Chicks and other succlents.

Also at the gate entrance, a lovely area of plantings.
Close by the home is the Herb Garden...

 And the Victorian Garden.



Then we headed to my other favorite, The Boxwood Garden!

Really would love to have something like this, but just the thought of trimming all those boxwoods keep me from even doing a little one.

I will leave you with a tranquil picture in the hopes that you too will visit a botanical garden somewhere in your area! It's so relaxing just to walk the paths and enjoy the nature!
