Chouteau Gardens – Blackwater, Missouri.

By admin | December 28, 2008

Chouteau Gardens – Blackwater, Missouri. Visit the pocket flower garden which was established on Main St. Blackwater, where once a building stood, and named Chouteau Gardens. The front part consists of paving bricks made in LaClede which were found hidden by years of soil build up, making a path from the old hotel to the spot where once the depot stood.  A brick path was laid, partly with the Boonville Correction Center inmate work release program. Jeff Oberhaus and Brian Mahieu suggested major plant items such as the Sweet Bay Magnolia, Korean Lilac, Boxwood hedge, Allegheny Viburnum, Oak Leaf Hydrangea and the Hydrangea vines which clutch the brick walls and helped us ready the soil for planting.
