As a public garden we maintain hundreds of plants ranging from tropical varieties to regional zone five perennials. A garden for all season, our tropical atrium is splendid throughout the winter months, and our rare conifer collection is unique to the Quad Cities. In spring, flowering bulbs enliven the garden, including a stunning iris collection. Other special collections include day lillies, mums and ornamental grasses. Our outdoor butterfly garden attracts pollinators by the hundreds, and is lively from early spring to late fall when the Monarchs start their migration.
The Center is open to the public 360 days a year, and serves the public in a myriad of ways.
