The Missouri Botanical Gardens were hands down the best botanical gardens I have ever been too (however, I am not claiming to be a huge gardening person or an expert in these affairs). This is also America's oldest botanical gardens and has North America's largest Traditional Japanese Garden. The MOBOT also offers gardening lessons and tips in the teaching gardens where participants learn techniques for gardening at home, using environmentally friendly pesticides and fertilizers, and how to compost among a ton of other green themed activities.
The day was grey and rainy, but the gardens were very nice and relaxing. Even though it was wintry, there were tons of blossoming flowers. If I lived in St. Louis I would probably buy a season pass to this place and go there when I got too stressed out.

Also.... The geodesic dome of the Climatron was designed by the Buckminster Fuller, whose life works I viewed while visiting the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
