April at the Missouri Botanical Garden began at the peak of our cherry blossom bloom and is moving into May with bright bursts of color from more than 2,000 azaleas and rhododendrons. Although we have unfortunately been closed to the public due to restrictions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, a limited number of essential staff allowed on grounds documented the unfolding spring to share with you. Since we couldn’t welcome you in person, we invite you to take a scroll through spring with 30 of our favorite images from April.

It looks majestic & glorious in every way!!!
Such gorgeous photos- and with no visitors in the pictures, the photos have a timeless quality. Great work – we are so missing the garden.
Looks like the gardens are beautiful as always every Spring! Only this year most of us had to miss it!! Can’t wait for the gardens to open…it would be great mother’s day gift!!!!
Thank you so much for posting these beautiful photos! I truly appreciate the time and effort it took to do this.
