Nature Speaks is a commitment to connect the community to nature through experiences, providing opportunities to engage with nature through the written word, artistic creations, music, movement, and discovery—all designed with a focus on each person’s connection with the natural world.
Visitors will be able to learn about Plein Air Art—a French phrase meaning "in the open air," describing the process of painting a landscape outdoors. The Garden has engaged the Missouri Plein Air Painters’ Association (MOPAPA) to have local artists creating art throughout the Garden. A member of MOPAPA will be giving a talk for visitors to learn about the practice and its connections to nature.
Nature Speaks takes place during extended evening hours. All activities included with Garden admission; free for Garden members.
