Welcome to the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden

...where "exploring, explaining and celebrating the world of plants" is our mission. Tropical and temperate gardens make us an oasis in the heart of downtown Des Moines. Whether you visit on your own or explore with a group, you will find the Botanical Garden a place where you can learn about fascinating plants, hone your gardening skills or immerse yourself in beautiful gardens. Plan your visit now.

Please note:  We will be closed July and August 2013 for our summer construction season as we build the gardens and improve the interiors as part of Phase 1 of our Capital Campaign.  Read more about the campaign and all its excitement here.
