St. Louis, MO - Gardenland Express has been part of the garden's holiday offerings since 2003. Preparation typically starts in August, when the model trains are inventoried. "We're kind of becoming a traditional spot for a lot of people," said Karen Hill, a public information officer with the garden.
"The old department store windows downtown used to have trains and things like that in them. A lot of people have commented over the years that our display kind of reminds them of that and has sort of replaced that as their holiday tradition."
