Description

Spanning eight acres of Hermann Park, these grounds are laid out with a series of distinct botanical zones that flank the central Centennial Green lawn. Visitors move through themed spaces including an Arid Garden, a Woodland Garden, and an educational Family Garden, all linked by wide, paved promenades. The site is anchored by the Cherie Flores Garden Pavilion, which serves as the entry point to a 30-foot spiral mount offering a vantage point over the city skyline. Throughout the seasons, the park features curated displays, with the standout rose garden serving as a frequent destination for those looking to walk the grounds or photograph the flowers.
