A walk around St. Louis is a subtle reminder of how the French have influenced the city. Street names such as Laclede and Chouteau refer to fur trader Pierre Laclède and his stepson Auguste Chouteau, who constructed a trading post here in 1764.

People love gardens and to garden. They go on tours of famous gardens all over the world. Of course our own Missouri Botanical Garden is world renowned.
Gardens are depicted in works of art going back to ancient times and in works of art being made to this day.
The Garden of Eden is the most famous of all gardens and great masters such as Jan Brueghel the Elder, Michelangelo and Lucas Cranach have painted their interpretations of that magical, mystical garden.
