Within the St. Louis region, the Missouri Botanical Garden is one of a kind in educating and demonstrating sustainable lifestyle choices—choices that minimize our current and future impact on plants, our local environment, and the world at large. Innovative educational programs, services and demonstrations are currently offered by the Garden's EarthWays Center, Kemper Center for Home Gardening, and the Garden's Education Division. Through engaging and empowering learning opportunities and resources for teachers and students as well as for lifelong learners, we promote sustainable human behaviors and choices related to the food we eat, the homes and buildings we construct and operate, the products we produce and consume and the transportation methods we employ.
