The Garden in 100 Objects : From the Iconic to the Rare at the Missouri Botanical Garden

The Missouri Botanical Garden began not as an adornment to an estate, but as a public botanical garden, a place to study and display plants. In its long history, the Garden and its people have accumulated a treasure trove of objects, plants, papers, and other curiosities. The book offers you a small sample of the many wonders to be found in "Shaw's Garden."
