People love gardens and to garden. They go on tours of famous gardens all over the world, including our own world-renowned Missouri Botanical Gardens.

Gardens are depicted in works of art going back to ancient times as well as in works of art being made to this day.
The Garden of Eden is the most famous of all gardens. Great masters such as Jan Bruegel the Elder, Michelangelo and Lucas Cranach have painted their interpretations of that magical, mystical garden.
Just recently there have been art exhibitions in St. Louis in which the garden is the central focus. The Contemporary Art Museum (CAM) is featuring work by Ebony Patterson, a Jamaican-born artist who studied at Washington University and now resides in Chicago. Sheâs had exhibitions all over the country in prestigious museums and galleries.
