There is something magical about Missouri in the fall. The green-leafed trees of summer slowly turn into eye-catching shades of red, gold, and orange. It’s a process that takes several weeks to conclude and progresses in phases amongst our variety of trees, shrubs, and vines.
Even treeless areas, such as prairies and roadsides, display beautiful shades of gold, copper, purple, olive, and auburn with fall wildflowers and grasses.
It’s a spectacular show!
Get out there, grab a front row seat, and discover nature this fall. Take a walk amongst the trees, leaves, and flowers. Take it all in — the sights, the sounds, and the cool, crisp air. You’ll be back for an encore.

There are few things finer than a walk among the trees on an autumn day.
