Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden

The Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden is a vibrant, 12-acre public garden in the heart of downtown Des Moines. We are more than a dome and urban oasis. We’re the connection point between plants, people and the natural world. ​It’s a space where you can be who you are, do the things you love and spend time with the people who matter most. We welcome you to enjoy, discover, create, and Find Your True Nature here. Our ongoing mission is exploring, explaining and celebrating the world of plants. Within an always friendly climate, we engage visitors through education, experience, and entertainment. As a renowned cultural institution, we cultivate diverse plants and link people to the environment surrounding them. Learn more at dmbotanicalgarden.com.
