Posted May 19, 2026
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville's Gardens are among the top destinations highlighted in a recent feature by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Written by features writer Daniel Neman, the article spotlights 11 of the region's best places to experience spring blooms — and the Gardens at SIUE earned a place alongside renowned destinations such as the Missouri Botanical Garden and Forest Park.
The Post-Dispatch describes the Gardens at SIUE as a 36-acre space featuring several smaller specialty gardens, including Shakespeare's Garden — a circular plot of flowers mentioned by the Bard — a butterfly garden, the Wind Forest with its planted wildflowers, and the Prairie Portal, complete with a human sundial.
