Tucked away behind the corporate headquarters of Shelter Insurance are the Shelter Gardens.
The gardens are an oasis in a bustling college town. With five acres of vibrant trees, shrubs, and flowers garden visitors often feel like they have just uncovered a beautiful secret.
Butterflies float by as birds call to one another from the trees. The gardens are a tranquil spot for a romantic stroll.
Come to relax and take in the blooms.
Peer into the reflecting pool and take a moment for some soul searching.
Have a picnic under the gazebo or enjoy a good book in the shade.
Listen to the calming sounds of the waterfalls and imagine yourself far away from the stresses of everyday life.
The Shelter gardens are indeed a magical place where life seems to suddenly stop.
So take a deep breath, unwind, and discover Missouri's own little "Narnia."
This magical garden is open year round but the best times to visit are during blooming season. Find the Shelter Gardens at 1817 W. Broadway, Columbia.
