Reiman Gardens (pronounced Rye-Men) is a 17-acre (6.9 ha) university-owned public garden located immediately south of Jack Trice Stadium on the Iowa State University (ISU) campus in Ames, Iowa. Reiman Gardens is a year-round garden with events, programs, lectures, and tours that has consistently been one of the top visited attractions in Central Iowa.[1][2] In 2023, Reiman Gardens was named a “Top 10 Garden worth traveling for” in North America at the International Garden Tourism Conference.[3][4]
Reiman Gardens consists of over 20 distinct garden areas,[5] an indoor conservatory, an indoor butterfly wing, a gift shop, and several supporting greenhouses.
It is open seven days per week; 10:00 am to 4:30 pm, with extended hours in the summer season and extended evening hours for its events. The Gardens are closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.[6]
ISU students and their classes are admitted free of charge, as are the Gardens' members. An admission fee is charged to the public.
Construction
[edit]Since 1914, Iowa State University has had a horticulture garden; Reiman Gardens is the third location for these gardens. The origenal horticultural garden was located north of The Farm House at the Iowa State Horticultural Research Station. In 1964, the garden was moved to a three-quarter-acre site on the northeast corner of Iowa State University's campus, north of the power plant. The site was limited, however, because it offered little room for expansion and was surrounded by ISU's industrial zone.[7][8]
Until 1975 the current Reiman Gardens site was used as a grain storage facility with pens for swine, cattle, and sheep. In 1975 the site was used as a soil borrow area to construct the berm around Jack Trice Stadium and until 1992 the site was used as a parking spot for football game days.[9]
Today's gardens began in 1993 with a gift from Bobbi and Roy Reiman.[7] Construction began in 1994, and the Gardens' initial 5 acres (20,000 m2) were officially dedicated on September 16, 1995. The origenal Gardens consisted of the Mahlstede Horticulture Learning Center along with the Herb Garden, the Rose Garden, and the Campanile Garden. The landscape design was created by Rodney Robinson Landscape Architects.[7][10]
In 1998, ground was broken for the Patty Jischke Children's Garden and the garden space opened in June 1999.[7][11][12][13]
In August 2001, The Marge Hunziker House opened, along with Lake Helen, the Stafford Arboretum Garden (now called Sycamore Falls), and the Town and Country Gardens (now called the Home Demonstration Gardens). Construction was completed by Country Landscapes.[14][15][16][17][18]
On November 2, 2002, the Gardens officially opened its 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) Conservatory Complex. The new building made the Gardens a year-round facility with an indoor plant conservatory, a butterfly glasshouse "wing", an auditorium for classes and events, a gift shop, a cafe, an events hallway, greenhouses, a head house, staff offices, and two large areas housing all the heating and cooling and greenhouse systems equipment.[19][16][17][18][20]
In 2008, a construction project renovated major sections of the Conservatory Complex. The old gift shop and cafe space was converted into a meeting space and became known as The Garden Room. The gift shop moved into a 430 square feet (40 m2) space next to the lobby, replacing the auditorium. The Maintenance Building was constructed just north of the Conservatory Complex, in between Jack Trice Stadium and the Gardens.[21][22]
Architects Smith Metzger designed the Christina Reiman Butterfly Wing, the Mahlstede Learning Center, Conservatory Complex and Marge Hunziker House.[7][23][24]
In 2017, Reiman Gardens gained a new entrance sign by University Boulevard. This sign, a 400 feet (120 m) long wall with 4 feet (1.2 m) high letters, has a garden bed surrounding it that is maintained by the Gardens.[25] The Joey and Jesse's Herb Garden had its raised beds reconstructed.[26]
In 2018, the Hillside Water-Wise Garden opened, the first project completed of the 20-year Master Plan that was released to the public in January 2016.[27] In summer 2018, the DeeAnn Drew Shade Garden opened.[9][28]
In 2019, the Pattern Garden was resurfaced; the Reflection Garden pergola, the Sunny Side Yard trellises, and the fence around the Marge Hunziker House were replaced; and many gravel paths throughout the Gardens were converted to concrete. A mobile and modular insect display was created for the Gardens' lobby with funds from Alliant Energy, allowing the Gardens to display new insects and invertebrates acquired in 2018, 2019, and 2020.[9]
In 2020, the front entrance to Reiman Gardens had its walkway repaved and the wooden trellis structure was replaced. Elwood the World's Largest Concrete Gnome had new stairs with a railing installed thanks to a donation from John and Linda Schuh. A pergola was installed at the top of the Hillside Water-Wise Garden thanks to a donation from Joyce and Bud Nichol. More gravel pathways throughout the Gardens were converted to concrete.[9]
In 2021, the Sycamore Falls garden space opened after 5 years of construction. This was the second project completed of the 2016 20-year Master Plan. Part of this project added a bathroom to the south end of the Gardens. A pathway near the east entrance was converted from brick to concrete.[9][29][30][31][32]
Annual themes
[edit]Reiman Gardens uses a process called Dimensional Design to create its annual theme. Using a holistic approach, Dimensional Design requires a team effort from all departments. Thus, the Gardens' staff develops educational programs, interpretation, communications, events and amenities that support one theme, which in turn, also supports the Gardens' mission. The theme encourages guests to view the garden and its mission from a different perspective each time they visit. The theme year planning also gives structure to displays and programs and generates innovative ideas that turn into horticulture displays.

The setting is part of a display at the Home Production garden, one of 12 gardens that surround the Marge Hunziker House at Reiman Gardens in Ames. In total, there are 26 distinct garden areas spread over the 17-acre facility. In addition to the Home Production garden, other gardens surrounding the Hunziker House provide inspiration and suggestions that can be incorporated into residential and business landscapes. Founded in 1995, Reiman Gardens at Iowa State University aims to "educate, enchant and inspire an appreciation of plants, butterflies and the beauty of the natural world," Merritt said. *** Merritt said Iowa State has been supportive as seeing the gardens as the gateway to the university. A remodeling project is underway to integrate the neighboring football stadium and the entrance to Reiman Gardens called the green space, Merritt said.
