What to expect in bloom:

early spring – daffodils, tulips, cherries, Magnolias, & more;
mid to late spring – irises, azaleas, dogwoods, tulip trees, & more.
Come learn more about what makes Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum an extraordinary horticultural and historical treasure of St. Louis! Every horticulture tour is unique and will potentially cover different plants. Sign up for a tour of the Arboretum today!

"Making Their Mark" brings together over eighty works by an intergenerational and international group of women artists represented in the San Francisco Bay Area–based Shah Garg Collection. Featuring a wide spectrum of artworks—including painting, sculpture, installation, textile, beadwork, and ceramics from the past eight decades—the exhibition emphasizes dialogues between artists who circumvent and break through conventions in art-making, embracing craft techniques, new technologies, conceptual inquiries, inventive methods, and uncommon materials. Artists in the exhibition include Andrea Bowers, Suzanne Jackson, Julie Mehretu, Howardina Pindell, Joan Mitchell, Lorna Simpson, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Sarah Sze, Kay WalkingStick, and Mary Weatherford, among many others.

In the months of September, October, and November, we offer a two-hour walking tour of the Cemetery and Arboretum as the foliage transitions through the rich colors of Autumn. This tour will be led by one of our Master Guides who will convey highlights of the grounds, horticulture and a variety of intriguing historical figures who call Bellefontaine Cemetery their last address.
