I just visited this place for the second time. I live about 45 minutes away. After looking at several places in Des Moines and Iowa City, I found what I needed here. Hands down the biggest selection of plants I've found in eastern Iowa.

We drive 25 minutes to come to this garden center instead of the other local ones because this garden center has an awesome selection of vegetables and flowers. We also get the compost for top dressing our garden. The staff has always extremely helpful and friendly. See you in the fall for some compost!

They have a great staff, and a great selection of plants. There’s shredded topsoil and compost can’t be beat for making a garden bed. But you need to be careful if you buy a tree that has been overwintered. We got those river birch at half price and paid to have them planted since the pot was so bad. We are disappointed that they sold a tree that only had leaves on one trunk. I would wait until the trees have leaves on them before buying next time. They do not warranty over winter trees. I just wish they would make sure they had leaves before the winter begin.

I love going here! Great selection of plants and a plethora of cats! (That last thing was probably something you didn’t know ;) Cats shown are Sweetie (Gray fluffy), Moose (White And Black fluffy who is huge), and Momma (the tortie).
