Key for Program Type
 Flower Arranging by Season:
Every month,
based on what’s in season, we will create a
unique arrangement for your home.
 The Potted Garden:
Add a new plant every
month to your collection! Each month, based on
what’s in season, you will learn about the care
and culture as well as pot up a different plant or
mixed container.
 Wellness:
Many of us miss the beautiful, everchanging
seasonal blooms in the Garden. Join us
on a once-a-month ”What’s in Bloom?“ walk
around the Garden. Experience the monthly
changes of the magnificent Garden. Dress for the
weather and wear your walking shoes! When the weather is chilly, join us for a warmup
in a healthy cooking class.
The following programs are designed to enhance
your visit, therapeutically, to the Missouri Botanical
Garden. Programs held at the Garden run between
1½ to 2 hours, unless otherwise noted. Light
refreshments will be served.
