Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden

Create a beautiful, maintenance-free piece of moss art! Using colored preserved moss and other natural materials, participants will design and assemble a custom framed artwork.

From June through September, the Botanical Garden stays open late on Tuesdays and Fridays—giving you more time to enjoy the beauty of summer, your way. Wander paths in full bloom, relax on the lawn, or take in the glow of golden hour across the gardens.

Sound Bath in the Garden is a sanctuary for deep rest, inviting you to step out of autopilot and into presence through breathing exercises, guided meditation, and resonant tones from crystal quartz singing bowls, koshi chimes, ocean drums, and water chimes.
