Founded in 1859, the Missouri Botanical Garden is the oldest botanical garden in the United States and one of the only gardens to achieve National Historic Landmark status. “Shaw’s Garden,” as it is locally known, was the result of the dream of an English immigrant who wanted to use his fortune to create a place of beauty and refuge from the hustle of the city, as well as a place of research, conservation, and learning. 
This 150th anniversary book is beautifully illustrated with hundreds of photos; the book presents rare, never-before-seen archival material alongside gorgeous full-color images of the Garden today by renowned photographer Ian Adams. Dr. Peter H. Raven, the Garden’s president, and Time magazine’s “Hero for the Planet,” presents the book. Share in the rich history and bright future of a venerable local institution with international importance and acclaim in out changing world, the Missouri Botanical Garden: Green for 150 Years.
