Welcome!
Shaw Nature Reserve, a division of the Missouri Botanical Garden, offers 17 miles of trails and over 2,400 acres which includes reconstructed tallgrass prairie, wetland, glade, savannah, woodland, and the Meramec River. Each season is beautiful and can make an excellent location for memorable events.
Visitors are encouraged to schedule private rentals at least 6 months out due to the limited availability of the facilities. Weddings can be scheduled up to 18 months in advance.
