The Missouri Botanical Garden was created by Henry Shaw, a prominent St. Louis businessman who opened his garden to the public in 1859. Inspired by the gardens of his native England, including Chatsworth and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, and guided by the eminent botanist Dr. George Engelmann. Mr. Shaw intended his garden to be a center for education, scientific research and horticultural display.
