Visitors In 2000, the latest year for which there are complete statistics, 273 visiting scientists from the U.S. and 105 from abroad came to the Garden to consult its herbarium and library collections. Many visitors stay at the Trelease House or Anderson House, the Garden's guesthouses, during their time here. The individual apartments in the guesthouses are large, comfortable, completely furnished, and have kitchen facilities. The guesthouses are named in honor of William Trelease and Edgar Anderson, former directors of the Garden. Brenda Sneed manages both guesthouses with the assistance of Barbara Strebler. Please contact Brenda by telephone (314-577-9576), fax (314-577-0830), or e-mail (brenda.sneed@mobot.org) for reservation information and availability. Herbarium staff members also conduct tours of the herbarium for diverse groups by special request. In 2000, more than 731 persons toured the MO facilities.
