Join us for a closer look at the new Jack C Taylor Visitor Center at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. We will be guided through the outdoor garden spaces by MOBOT Horticulture Staff + representatives from Arbolope Studio (landscape architects for the project). Inside the building, Jean Ponzi (of Missouri Botanical Garden Earthways Center) will highlight the biophilic elements of the construction, design, and operation where “technology and nature work in harmony to provide a world-class guest experience”. Please RSVP in advance – tour limited to 40 people! We will also honor and award recipients of the 2023 John L. Masek Ornamental Horticulture Scholarship.
