There is no charge for parking at the Missouri Botanical Garden. In the event that the parking lot is full, visitors should use the free parking at the Metro multi-modal lots at the corner of Shaw Boulevard and Vandeventer. View Map.

Pardon Our Progress!
The Garden’s east parking lot in front of the Ridgway Visitor Center will be closed this winter for much needed repairs and improvement. The west lot will remain open and there is no cost for parking in this lot.

Improvements include several new sustainable features. A portion of the lot will be paved with “pervious” concrete, which allows rainwater to pass directly through to be reabsorbed by the ground. A rain garden will also help keep run-off to a minimum. Lighting, irrigation, and plantings will be improved as well. This project is funded by Federal transportation funds through MoDOT. Work is expected to be complete by the first weekend in April 2010.
