Eight acres of formal gardens inside Hermann Park, anchored by a 30-foot spiral hill ("The Mount"). Rose garden, family garden, and reflection pool.

Creator notes
What works here
Top of The Mount gives a clean overhead-ish shot of the rose garden geometry. Spring (March–May) is the peak — rose garden in full bloom. Off-trail or model-shoot setups need a Hermann Park photography permit on weekends.
Practical
Plan the shoot
Best time
Spring mornings; late afternoon any season
Lighting
Soft side-light through the trellis structures; midday is harsh on the open lawns.
