It’s not just the flowers that make a garden beautiful! Foliage, color, bark, and contrasting texture can add the impact you are looking for.

Squash and pumpkin on haybaleWhat's in a Witches' Brew?
Thursday, October 17; 5:30–7 p.m.
Plants with spooky or supernatural reputations have a complex mythology that persists to this day thanks to the strange and powerful biochemistry they actually feature. Join us to shed some light on the true stories behind plants used in medieval witchcraft, then review their modern appearances in the fantasy fiction and horror genres. Attendees will leave with a special botanical blend to add to their own potions brewed from magic beans.

Teach a Class!

Adult Education Contract Instructors help to fulfill the Missouri Botanical Garden’s mission of discovering and sharing knowledge about plants and their environment in order to preserve and enrich life. We are always looking for individuals with fresh ideas and a desire to share their skills or interests with the community.

Ideal instructors have extensive knowledge in their skill or subject area, great people skills and a passion for teaching others. If you have a class you would like to teach, we encourage you to submit a class proposal.

Give the Garden

Woman journalingGive the gift of knowledge! Instead of the typical “stuff,” give that hard-to-buy-for friend or family member a fun, memorable experience. Missouri Botanical Garden and its properties offer many engaging and enriching classes throughout the year.

Purchase a gift card that can be used for classes, as well as for admission, merchandise, membership and more.
