Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Des Moines, United States.
The Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden spans multiple themed sections, including tropical plants, perennial gardens, and seasonal displays across indoor and outdoor spaces.
Established in 1979, the garden underwent transformative renovations in 1986 when local organizations stepped forward to save and revitalize the facility.
