Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden

The Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden known as the Des Moines Botanical Center until 2013 is a professional flowerbed situated in Des Moines, Iowa, United States, on the east bank of the Des Moines River. Enthusiasm for a Des Moines plant focus started in 1929. A city nursery was procured on the west side of the stream in 1939, which served the city as a creation and show nursery until the point that the Botanical Center was finished in 1979. From 2004 to December 31, 2012, the office was worked in the interest of the city by Des Moines Water Works.

On January 2, 2013, the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden opened the entryways out of the blue as a charitable association under the administration of President and CEO Stephanie Jutila and administration of the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden Board of Directors. The foundation is at present experiencing a dynamic reestablishment supported by a fruitful capital crusade to raise $12.6 million for the Phase I development of the open air greenhouses and changes to the current studio and building. The center highlights over a 1,200 distinctive taxa from around the globe in imaginative settings intended to investigate, clarify and praise the loftiness of the plant world.
