Henry ShawFeaturing Henry Shaw in 2009

Each year, the Children's Garden highlights an important individual in Missouri history. In honor of the Missouri Botanical Garden's 150th anniversary, the life and legacy of Garden founder Henry Shaw will take center stage in 2009.

Learn more about "Shaw's Garden" as you assemble seed packets to plant in your own home garden. Pose for a photo atop a replica of Shaw's horse-drawn buggy or make a Children's Garden button souvenir.
