Flowers for Wentzville, MO

Graduation week is the honest stress test of Wentzville's flower supply. The school district — the fastest-growing in Missouri for most of the past two decades — now fills four high schools, and when Holt, Timberland, Liberty, and North Point stack their ceremonies into the same few days, every cooler in 63385 is spoken for by noon. The rest of the year moves at an easier pace but across a map that keeps redrawing itself: historic Pearce Boulevard and the brick blocks near Main Street on one end, the Wentzville Parkway retail strip in the middle, and ring after ring of new rooftops pushing south of the interstate onto land that grew corn five years ago.
