It is so fun when the kids come for a field trip to Walter Knoll Florist.  This group from Lindbergh School district got to learn about potting begonias at our LaSalle Garden Center location.  We love to show off our stuff, so if you have a group that would like to come for a tour (children or adults) we’ll be happy to show you around.  Who knows, maybe you’ll get to re-pot some begonias yourself!

Walter Knoll Florist is being honored at the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park as a featured Saint Louis company that is more than 100 years old.  The History Museum has asked for and Walter Knoll Florist has donated the original sign from the 5501 Chippewa store in south St Louis.  The new display at the Missouri History Museum will open in a few months.  We’ll try to keep you posted as we know you want to see this display! While you are there, have lunch, I hear the food is great at the Meriwether Restaurant! They’ve even been featured on the Food Network.

Walter Knoll Florist moved from the Chippewa location in January of 2008 to their newest location just 4 blocks away at 4620 Hampton Ave in the Saint Louis Hills neighborhood.  The sign was put up in the early 60s and features a multi colored art deco logo.  In the 90s the sign was updated with a new roof and new lighting.

Dinosaurs at the Saint Louis Zoo

Summer 2008

Here are some of the Dinosaurs,

The T-Rex BiteSmile of the T-RexI have TeethWatch OutI may look cute now but stand by

Step back into prehistoric time and enter the world of the dinosaur!

Sixteen life-size animatronic dinosaurs will move, roar and spit in the Saint Louis Zoo’s one-of-a-kind walk-through exhibit opening near River’s Edge in spring 2008. The temporary exhibit Dinoroarus will be open April 18 through September 1, 2008.

Watch the KSDK Newschannel 5 video of their arrival at the Zoo on April 1.

Walk among the reptilian giants and gaze into the eyes of dino mega-stars, including Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops and Stegosaurus.

Young paleontologists can unearth some Jurassic treasures in the hands-on Fossil Dig and climb atop a duck-billed dino “parasaurolophus” for a unique photo opportunity.

Thrill seekers can experience “Dino Island 2,” a 3-D motion simulator (additional fee).

Expand your knowledge of dinosaurs by finding their living relatives throughout the Zoo, including the tuatara at the Herpetarium. Compare and contrast present day giants such as elephants, bears and giraffes, to the size of dinosaurs. Learn how the Zoo is working to protect endangered wild animals from going extinct like the dinosaurs.

Today was the grand opening and Walter Knoll Florist is one of the sponsors of Dinosaurs at the Zoo! below are some shots of wonderful dramatic arrangements! Fun, huh!

Dinosaurs are making a monster arrival at the Saint Louis Zoo in 2008 from April to September. The immersive exhibit will feature 17 life-size animatronics dinosaurs in a naturalistic setting on Zoo grounds. Their booming roars, curious clicks and adorable chirps will fill the air and transport you to a land before time.

Many educational opportunities will be incorporated into this exciting exhibit. This is an opportunity for us to teach children and adults about animal extinction, developing theories, animal adaptations, regions where dinosaurs have been discovered, the science of paleontology, and dinosaur descendants that are on exhibit at the Zoo.
