Missouri Botanical Garden

High on my list of places to visit before I die. The botanical garden was started in 1859. It grew into the huge botanical garden it is today by the 1980's. There is a great virtual tour online. Lots of gardening tips can be found here. I like the Web address!

Tree of Life Nursery

I've bought plants from then before and I wish I lived closer. They are located outside of San Juan Capistrano along the Ortega Highway. They have some great California native plants to choose from.

San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden

This is destined to be a world-class showcase of Mediteranean climate plants right here between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay along Highway 1. They are still a fledgling botanical garden presently with only 2 acres of a preview garden. Check out their master plan.

The English Garden website

Oh my Gosh! I've loved their magazine for years. Their website is fantastic. Gardening is almost a religion amongst many folks in the UK. There is a whole travel industry devoted to visiting English gardens.
