Review & FAQ:
Designed to bring people and nature together in a joyful and meaningful way, the Quad City Botanical Center first opened its doors to the public in 1998. Since those early days the gardens have grown and evolved to provide a natural education center. There are a total of 11 different themed gardens including a wonderful Children’s Garden, the Tropical Sun Garden (in a glass atrium), a conifer garden and several seasonal gardens for perennials, prairie wild flowers and much more. There is also a special section with raised beds so that physically challenged people can see, touch and smell the plants.
