Mizzou Botanic Garden

Mizzou Botanic Garden is a public botanical garden spread across the University of Missouri campus, featuring diverse collections of trees, flowering plants, and shrubs. The displays showcase species that grow well in the central Missouri climate and soil conditions.

The campus was officially designated as Mizzou Botanic Garden in 1999 following efforts to enhance the green spaces. This recognition built on years of developing and maintaining plant collections across the university grounds.

The garden serves as a gathering space where visitors explore plant life and learn about regional ecology through displays and landscaping. People use the grounds for quiet walks and to connect with the natural environment throughout the year.

The garden is free to visit throughout the year and welcomes people on self-guided walks at their own pace. Maps and signage help visitors find their way through the different planted areas and walking paths.

The grounds include specialized collections that feature plant varieties specifically adapted to the regional climate and growing conditions. These focused areas give visitors insight into which species thrive naturally in the local environment.
