Segway rides . . . good food . . . the music of Downtime. . .
. There’s a blossoming of special events and activities at the 2008
Flower Festival, so drop by Christ Church Cathedral, 1210 Locust St., on
Saturday, May 3, and Sunday, May 4. Sponsored by the Diocese of
Missouri, Missouri Botanical Garden and Christ Church Cathedral - and

International!” - Flower Festival celebrates nature’s beautiful
abundance and our responsibility as stewards of the planet. On Saturday,
environmental activist Bonnie Anderson speaks at the 11am Worship
Service. At 12:30pm, enjoy food, arts and crafts, and family fun at the
annual Street Fair, which takes place rain or shine. At 7:30 that
evening, the renowned Collegium Vocale performs. Except for food and
goods sold by vendors, Saturday events are free. The last day of Flower
Festival begins with Sunday’s regular schedule of worship services at
