History:
Established in 1998, our gardens feature an indoor Sun Garden Tropical Atrium, over 2-acres of perennial garden beds that include a collection of rare conifer trees, iris of the year, and amazing dahlias. Our signature gardens are the showpiece of the Quad Cities. Award winning architecture is one reason this tropical haven a must see destination. 6,444 square feet of space and a soaring 70 foot tall glass crown provide shelter for ferns, palms, bromeliads, orchids, frangipani, birds of paradise, banana’s and hundreds of other fascinating, life sustaining plants. Brick foot paths, a 14 foot tall cascading waterfall, and a tranquil pond teaming with fancy fin Koi fish, compliment this Midwest tribute to the tropical regions of our world.
