In Partnership with Missouri Botanical Gardens

Mid-October brings peak fall color to the garden, with vibrant leaves, crisp air, and the season’s energy in full swing. This guided Forest Bathing walk offers a chance to slow down, take in the beauty around you, and enjoy autumn at its height.

Guided by Certified Forest and Nature Therapy Guide Jess Thenhaus, you’ll explore the garden’s vibrant beauty through a series of gentle, sensory invitations. This is a time to revel in color, savor the season’s energy, and carry forward its grounding presence.
