“To him who contemplates a trait of natural beauty no harm or disappointment can come.” Henry David Thoreau in Excursions.
The Missouri Botanic Garden has collaborated with artist Dale Chihuly since 2006 to enhance the beauty of its plantings with his glass sculptures. This special partnership is highly successful, delighting visitors and showing off glass sculptures and plants alike to great advantage.
