Garden Glow at MoBot. Garden has a few new Displays
Celebrate
the Season with more than 2
million lights at Garden Glow opening Nov. 18
Get into the holiday spirit at Garden Glow at the Missouri Botanical Garden, where more than 2 million lights await you. The Garden’s eleventh annual Garden Glow presented by Wells Fargo Advisors runs nightly from November 18 to January 6. New this year: Visitors can dance on interactive tile floors as they change color with movement. Large 6 to 10-foot dandelions have been added to the “Springtime” display, joining dozens of large glass lilies that light up in sync with music. No matter the weather forecast, visitors can expect flurries from a new snow machine as they exit through the Ottoman Garden.
Classic favorites like “Big Blue,” a sweet gum wrapped in 800 strands of lights, will return to this one-of-a-kind holiday experience. Garden Glow also features festive drinks, snacks, and unique photo opportunities. New this year, S’more Shack will be selling elevated s’mores at Garden Glow.
Those looking to make a night of it can rent a VIP firepit experience for a special celebration with family and friends. The two-hour rental includes s’mores kits and hot cocoa for up to 20 guests.
Santa will visit Garden Glow on Mondays and Tuesdays from Nov. 20 to Dec. 12.
The Holiday Flower and Train Show will be in the Emerson Conservatory through Jan. 1. Visitors of all ages will delight in watching G-scale trains and trolleys travel through the Conservatory amongst hundreds of vibrant poinsettias.
The Holiday Wreath Auction, which features creations from some of St. Louis’ finest florists, returns this year. Designs range from traditional to whimsical and are sold by silent auction bidding, with proceeds benefiting the Missouri Botanical Garden.
The Holiday Flower Show and the Holiday Wreath Auction are included in Garden Glow admission. Both are also on view during the Garden’s daytime hours, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Garden Glow hours vary by date. Advanced tickets are strongly encouraged to guarantee the date/time of your choosing. Tickets range from $5 to $24. Family Nights, which include $5 children’s tickets, are Wednesday nights through Dec. 14. For more information, visit mobot.org/glow.
