Located about 40 minutes from St. Louis City, you will find Kress Farm Garden Preserve. The drive…read moreis easy and fast (since it's all highway driving). There are a few signs when you turnoff the highway to let you know you are going the correct direction. The entrance is marked with an iron gate. When the gate is open, they are open. No dogs allowed since this is a Nature Preserve. When you drive through the compound, you will pass a pavilion and then reach the parking lot. There are several accessible parking spots first, then parking spots for additional vehicles. One of the employees (possible owner) greeted us in the parking lot, offered directions to the trailhead, and asked how we heard about their place. Very welcoming! Visitors can borrow walking sticks from the pavilion and return before leaving the property. They have several hiking trails that all begin at the same point. We hiked their Blue Trail since we wanted to see the caves on the property. The paths are all very well marked with colored plaques on the trees. The paths are cleared of excess grass, roots, weeds, which makes for a very pleasant hike. This trail went through a cypress forest, which smells like Christmas. After about half mile hike though the woods, there's an offshoot from the main path down to the cliff caves. There are 3 shallow caves to explore. The offshoot to the caves it a bit strenuous. Leave your stroller at the top of the hill. The offshoot added another .2 miles to the hike. They also have plant and vegetable sales on the weekends. Be sure to check out their Instagram @kressfarmgardenpreserve and website for up to date events. Bluebird trail: 2 miles Yellow trail: 3/4 mile Red trail: 1.2 miles White Trail 2.0 miles Blue Trail 1.0 miles

This place is truly grand. Thank you for a wonderful day.

The selection over the last 3 seasons (two Homecomings and one Prom) have been thin to choose from. However, we have found something. We went to Prom & Beyond twice and didn't find anything and both times ended up back at The Prom Store. The cons at shopping and supporting this company is the salesgirls can not tell you if the other store has the same dress because they are told not to. They are also not allowed to refer you anywhere else nor can any of their family refer anyone somewhere else, even if it is another family member if they can't find something they like at their store as the salesgirls are instructed to make that sale. If they find out that a family member referred another person somewhere else after they didn't find something at their store their employee will get in trouble as they are to refer those people back to the store. They also do not give their employees 15 min breaks or lunch breaks when they work 8 hours as required by law.

It got even better when I arrived to the nursery. Was greeted by a very kind lady and was told to wander around and have a look around. Very pleased with all the plants , flowers and succulents.
