Young Friends of the Garden is a program for young professionals dedicated to advancing the mission of the Missouri Botanical Garden: to discover and share knowledge about plants and their environment, in order to preserve and enrich life.

The Garden offers many events and activities for young adults to participate, including the Whitaker Music Festival, Best of Missouri Market, Japanese festival, special evening programming, and educational classes that feature a variety of topics including cooking, wine tasting and gardening. 

Our goal is to develop and maintain programs specifically for the Young Friends group to increase members and visitors to the Garden.
