The Emerson Conservatory attached to the newly renovated and expanded Jack C. Taylor Visitor Center at the St. Louis Botanical Gardens is home to this years Holiday Trains exhibits. Three different configurations surrounded by poinsettias and terrarium plantings. Amazing doll house-sized buildings with individually carved citizens engaged in a wide variety of activities up to and including a wedding. Beats both DC and Baltimore hands down!
My friend, Kevin was standing on the front porch of the very first house!
Fun details for those who take the time to look. Do you see Clarice?
Reminded me of "The Waltons"
Sometimes set behind the colorful houses were ones of similar size, but completely different aesthetic style. I assumed these were from some earlier iteration and were being integrated in with the newer ones.
Some of these older ones were based on actual buildings.
We'll leave this green house with a parting shot of a green house!
