Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden

This 14-acre botanical garden is one of the most lovely sites to visit in Des Moines, Iowa. A surprising yet welcoming attraction in the middle of downtown Des Moines, the garden brings botanicals to life in an urban setting. The botanical garden cultivates a wide variety of plants and in so doing brings people together. With seven acres of outdoor gardens, there is so much beauty to see in one place. Visitors to the garden will enjoy a storied Bonsai collection, tropical and exotic plants, interesting leaves and flowers, and everything in between. With both indoor and outdoor gardens to explore you can enjoy new varieties with the changing of the seasons. The indoor geodesic-domed conservatory has a gardeners’ show house and production greenhouses that are awe-inspiring. The outdoor gardens showcase distinct Midwestern horticulture. One of the top places to visit in Iowa, we highly recommend Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden. Address: 909 Robert D. Ray Dr, Des Moines, IA 50309, United States
