Reader's Description:
"I especially love the Missouri Botanical Gardens here in St. Louis, the flowers, trees & shrubs are beautiful. It makes the world seem so peaceful, if only for a few hours. I also love getting out to Forest Park, a large Park just minutes from the Gardens, that always has something fun to do. Between the St. Louis Zoo for the kids, to the picnics for families, to the beautiful surroundings, its a great place for all to enjoy." ~ Ms Amy
