There is a very small window of time every week to actually see this attraction but it's worth it if you enjoy exceptional gardening and unique flora. Great place to sit and eat your lunch, hard to believe it sits in the middle of downtown.

We attended Better Homes and Gardens Cooking Experience dinner. This inaugural event, paired with an all day series of cooking classes was a delight. The hospitality was top notch and service excellent. The wine pairings with our dinner were delicious. It was truly an honor to be part of this special event and hope to have future chances to be a part of BHG exciting events.

This garden is nice but not exceptional. It is open to the public only 2 hours a week from noon to 2 pm on Fridays. Plants are well labeled but the garden is challenging to find, especially since a security officer in an adjacent magazine building sent me in the wrong direction. I'm glad I visited because if I missed it, I would have wondered what I skipped. The nearby Poppajohn Sculpture Garden is a more dynamic attraction.

My brother, sister and I visited the gardens. They are more "plant people" than I am, so they did have questions and they said the people there answered them knowledgeably and so they could understand what was being said. I was just there to look at the pretty flowers and plants. It is set up with winding pathways. One problem is, that we entered from the south and you have stairs to go down to get into the gardens. That makes it difficult when using a walker. I did need help. Also another problem I had was the bricks on the pathways, as It was difficult to use my walker (it has wheels) on the bricks. I must admit it would have been easier if it was paved, but the bricks do make it more of a garden look.

Gentleman, if you want to surprise your lady, you should pack a picnic for her and plan to come here. She will love you for it!

This is a gem in downtown Des Moines. May through October Better Homes and Gardens opens their test garden on Fridays during the lunch hour. Grab some take out or bring a picnic basket its a great spot for a lunch date and there is no admission. There are plenty of places to sit and eat. After eating stroll through the gardens and admire all of the beautiful plants. There are gardeners there to answer any questions you may have.

Took my boyfriend here for a walk after lunch. Lovely garden in the middle of downtown. Complete with old ladies with wide brimmed hats.

Hidden amoung downtown buildings, a beautiful gem is nestled. It is only open Friday from 12-2 during may-oct so it might be hard to find time to get there but if you can it's totally worth it. Many people grab there lunch and bring it to one of the many seats in the garden.

I have lived in Des Moines for over 35 years and had no idea this garden existed until I looked on Trip Advisor.The garden is hard to find but well worth it. They are peaceful and beautiful, perfectly maintained and right in the middle of the city. Open on Fridays 12:00-2:00 PM, May-Sept or Oct. Just west of the Papa John Sculpture Garden between Grand and Locust. Enter on the south side, right in the middle.My only complaint is they should be open more often.
