Henry Shaw – The Good Neighbor

This video is an introduction to Henry Shaw, an English businessman who was drawn to frontier Saint Louis, who sold hardware (ironworks) to westbound settlers, who made a fortune early in life, and who decided he had sufficient wealth to spend the rest of his life indulging his passion for botany and formal gardens. The video concentrates on Henry Shaw&#8217;s legacy: the scientific but beautiful Missouri Botanical Garden; the adjacent Tower Grove Park; and the adjacent residentially-affordable Shaw Neighborhood. Saint Louisians consider these institutions just another part of Saint Louis Missouri&#8217;s landscape, but Saint Louisians forget that elsewhere people pay premium prices (e.g., around NYC&#8217;s Central Park) to live within a green environment. The video highlights Henry Shaw&#8217;s 21st Century legacy: a scientifically-significant botanical research institution bundled within a beautiful green environment.

Zugunruhe Experience: Leave the Nest, Spread Your Wings, Soar the World
The word Zugunruhe is a term derived from the German language that is best used to describe anxious behavior found within migratory birds seeking to take flight. Many of us have felt this same feeling at some point in our lives when things feel stagnant and a change needs to happen. At Zugunruhe Experience, we are the change that students have been seeking.
Zugunruhe Experience does not just offer student travel programs for some students, we offer student travel programs for every student.
