Amazing place to tour! The foremost plant science center in America, they do research on feeding the world and improving lives through plants. Staff is incredibly friendly and engaging. Beautiful facilities with a six acre Missouri tall grass prairie in front. They love to share their story with the world! They also have volunteer opportunities and do a ton of school outreach in the St. Louis area.

Went to a meeting where Jackie Joyner Kersee was a guest speaker informing us of the work being done for the children in East St.Louis through her foundation. The Danforth Center and the University of IL are also support partners.
