We had our wedding pictures taken here several years ago in June and it made a beautiful background. It also works well for an outdoor wedding.

Not much to see really. Wouldnt go again. The greenhouse is small and crowded on weekends. Too bad. Was not expecting a St Louis Botanical Garden in Peoria, but still.

Small garden that is easy to walk around. Many interesting plants and the small greenhouse is very nice during holidays.

Thank you, garden volunteers for all your hard work! I highly recommend taking the time to visit the gardens. It is a nice place to go... More
