MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDENS-ST LOUIS,MO-BETTER THAN GARDEN OF VERSAILLES?-EP25
While in St Louis, MO, we spent a day at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. I dragged Mark along. This is probably the best botanical garden in the US that we've seen so far. It was better for us than the Gardens of Versailles. It was impeccably maintained. Since it's only 80 acres, every single square foot is beautiful!! Versailles is 1950 acres, and just wears you down. By the time we left, Mark admitted he liked how we spent the day. I hope it wasn't just because of the cookie at lunch,.....

THE WORLD'S MOST HAUNTED PLACE! | Waverly Hills Sanatorium Paranormal Tour
(Louisville, Kentucky) Producing my first documentary at THE Waverly Hills Sanatorium!.....Don't miss what we're up to next, HIT SUBSCRIBE to keep up! Aerial Views and Ghost Hunting at Waverly Hills Sanatorium, known by many as One of The MOST HAUNTED PLACES ON EARTH. Waverly is known world wide to be FULL of History & Paranormal Activity...
The Waverly Hills Sanatorium is a closed sanatorium located in southwestern Louisville/Jefferson County, Kentucky. It opened in 1910 as a two-story hospital to accommodate 40 to 50 tuberculosis patients. In the early 1900s, Jefferson County was ravaged by an outbreak of tuberculosis (the White Plague) which prompted the construction of a new hospital. The hospital closed in 1961, due to the antibiotic drug streptomycin that lowered the need for such a hospital.
Waverly Hills has been popularized on the television show Ghost Hunters as being one of the most haunted hospitals in the eastern United States. The sanatorium was featured on ABC/FOX Family Channel's Scariest Places On Earth, VH1's Celebrity Paranormal Project, Syfy's Ghost Hunters, Zone Reality's Creepy, the British show Most Haunted, Paranormal Challenge and Ghost Adventures on Travel Channel. Also popularizing Waverly Hills was the film Spooked: The Ghosts of Waverly Hills Sanatorium, released in 2006, which purports to document paranormal sightings at the site
Plans have been developed to convert the sanatorium into a hotel and conference center.
HISTORY:
The land that is today known as Waverly Hill was purchased by Major Thomas H. Hays in 1883 as the Hays' family home. Since the new home was far away from any existing schools, Mr. Hays decided to open a local school for his daughters to attend. He started a one-room schoolhouse on Pages Lane and hired Lizzie Lee Harris as the teacher. Due to Miss Harris' fondness for Walter Scott's Waverley novels, she named the schoolhouse Waverly School. Major Hays liked the peaceful-sounding name, so he named his property Waverley Hill. The Board of Tuberculosis Hospital kept the name when they bought the land and opened the sanatorium. It is not known exactly when the spelling changed to exclude the second e and became Waverly Hills. However the spelling fluctuated between both spellings many times over the years.
EXPLORATION:
One of the legends told of Waverly Hills involves a man in a white coat who has been seen walking in the kitchen and the smell of cooking food that sometimes wafts through the room. During their initial visit, they found the kitchen was a disaster, a ruin of broken windows, fallen plaster, broken tables and chairs and puddles of water and debris that resulted from a leaking roof. The cafeteria had not fared much better. It was also in ruins and the team quickly retreated. Before they could do so though, several of them reported the sounds of footsteps, a door swinging shut and the smell of fresh baked bread in the air. A quick search revealed that no one else was in the building and there was certainly no one cooking anything in the kitchen. They could come up with no logical explanation for what had occurred.
Ghost researchers are always drawn to the fifth floor of the former hospital. The fifth floor consisted of two nurses’ stations, a pantry, a linen room, medicine room and two medium-sized rooms on both sides of the two nurses’ stations. One of these, Room 502, is the subject of many rumors and legends and just about every curiosity-seeker that had broken into Waverly Hills over the years wanted to see it. This is where, according to the stories, people have jumped to their deaths, have seen shapes moving in the windows and have heard disembodied voices that order trespassers to “get out”.
There is a lot of speculation as to what went on in this part of the hospital but what is believed is that mentally insane tuberculosis patients were housed on the fifth floor. This kept them far away from the rest of the patients in the hospital but still in an area where they could benefit from the fresh air and sunshine. This floor is actually centered in the middle of the hospital and the two wards, extending out from the nurses’ station, is glassed in on all sides and opens out onto a patio-type roof. The patients were isolated on either side of the nurses’ stations and they had to go to a half door at each station to get their food and medicine and to use the restroom, which was located adjacent to the station.

Montana Roadtrip Timelapse
Join me on a 5,700 mi. journey which takes us from Illinois to Montana and back, passing through Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa over the course of three weeks.
A frame was captured every 10 seconds to make this timelapse. At highway speeds, that translates to about 4.5 miles per second. The entire trip takes about 26 minutes. I took this trip over the course of 3 weeks and most of the driving portions are represented here. I excluded short distances or any period of time I stayed in the same area.

Largest Home in America - Biltmore Mansion [HD]
Biltmore House is a Châteauesque-styled mansion in Asheville, North Carolina, built by George Washington Vanderbilt II between 1889 and 1895. It is the largest privately-owned home in the United States, at 175,000 square feet (16,300 m2) and featuring 250 rooms. Still owned by one of Vanderbilt's descendants, Biltmore stands today as one of the most prominent remaining examples of the Gilded Age, and of significant gardens in the jardin à la française and English Landscape garden styles in the United States.
The Top 10 Most Beautiful garden In The World
In This Video You Can See The Top 10 Most Beautiful garden In The World:
Brooklyn Botanic Garden, USA:
There are a handful of botanical gardens in New York, but the Brooklyn Botanic Garden stands out from the crowd. It was established in 1910, sits on 52 acres, and is the most-visited botanic garden in the country. Home to more than 12,000 plant species, highlights of the garden include the Cherry Esplanade, the Steinhardt Conservatory and the C.V. Starr Bonsai Museum.
According to Travel and Leisure, the BBG is also home to one of the world’s most unpleasant flowers, which last bloomed six years ago: “In 2006, one of the rarest, largest and stinkiest flowers in existence, the Sumatran Amorphophallus titanium, or corpse flower, blossomed on the premises (a highly—and, to the scent-sensitive, mercifully—infrequent occurrence).” It’s hard to predict when it will bloom again, but it’s worth visiting the garden on the off chance that it might happen. If you prefer a rosier scent, check out some of the other gardens on the grounds, such as Fragrance Garden, the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden, the Lily Pool Terrace, and of course, the Rose Garden.
Kirstenbosch National Botanic Garden, South Africa:
This national garden is located on 89 acres in Cape Town, on the slope of Table Mountain. Kirstenbosch prides itself on being the most beautiful garden in Africa, and the honor is well-deserved: like one other on this list, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although a large portion of the garden is cultivated, an even greater amount has been preserved to protect the land’s biodiversity (both flora and fauna).
Travel and Leisure explains that this conservation effort has been part of the design from the beginning. “Founded in 1913, this is the first national botanical garden established for the express purpose of local flora conservation, and even now, almost all the species therein are indigenous. Perhaps most famous is the garden’s trademark Crane Flower, a yellow version of which is named Mandela’s Gold.”
Botanischer Garten und Botanisches Museum, Germany:
This Berlin botanical garden is, according to DK Travel, “one of the most important gardens in the world.” It’s most notable for its collection of 16 glasshouses (aka greenhouses), which are home to various plant collections, and include the Cactus Pavilion and the Pavilion Victoria. The 43-hectare garden also houses the Great Pavilion, which is the largest glasshouse in the world and contains an exhibit of giant bamboo.
Kingsbrae Garden (Saint Andrews, New Brunswick):
Kingsbrae is an 11-hectare garden encompasses a former summer estate in beautiful Saint Andrews by-the-Sea. It’s laid out as a series of garden rooms: as you pass from one to the next, you go from discovery to discovery. It has a white garden, a rose garden, a maze, perennial and cottage gardens and many others, some very formal, others very laidback: pretty much a tour of the gardening world in one single spot. Non-gardeners will see it as a lovely place for a stroll, plant-nuts will taking pictures of the all the rare and unusual plants, including Canada’s first Wollemi pine.
Missouri Botanical Garden, USA:
Originally the grounds of a private country estate, this St. Louis gem is now a 79-acre garden open to the public. St. Louis businessman Henry Shaw originally opened his land to the public in 1859, and highlights now include: “The 14-acre Japanese garden named Seiwa-en that is the largest such garden in the Western Hemisphere, the Climatron geodesic dome conservatory featuring exotic tropical plants, and a children’s garden complete with a limestone cave and tree house.”
Singapore Botanic Garden, Singapore:
Singapore is often referred to as the “Garden City,” and with good reason: there are 300 parks and 4 nature preserves on the island. One of the most stellar is the 183-acre botanic garden, which boasts more than 20,000 orchids, as well as wild monkeys and terrapins. Founded in 1859, it’s the only botanic garden in the world that’s open every day from 5 AM to midnight, and with the exception of the National Orchid Gallery, there’s no admission fee. The Gallery is considered the garden’s main attraction, and features tropical orchids, hybrids, cool-weather flowers and a Bromeliad House.
Longwood Gardens, USA:
Like the Missouri Botanic Garden, Longwood Gardens was once a private estate; in this case, the land was originally owned by the DuPont family, but was converted to a public garden in 1919. Located near Philadelphia, the garden sits on more than 1,000 acres and includes 20 outdoor gardens and 20 indoor ones, which are maintained in a mile-and-a-half’s worth of greenhouses. Exhibits include: The Orangery, Silver Garden, Acacia Passage, Orchid House, Cascade Garden, Palm House, Mediterranean Garden, Tropical Terrace and the Outdoor Water Garden.
