It's a great weekend to spend some time at the Botanical Garden.

The garden will hold a grand opening Saturday for the new visitors center, part of a $100 million makeover of the south St. Louis landmark.


Spokeswoman Catherine Martin told Fox 2 that the garden will have free admission both days this weekend for the opening. She added that there will also be a science and sustainability showcase, where people can meet some of the MOBOT scientists and learn about their work.

The most notable of the many new features of the new visitors center is the ceiling of the main hall -- it's made to look like a canopy of ginkgo trees.
