Welcome to Des Moines Plants

We are dedicated to bringing the beauty and benefits of plants into your spaces. We specialize in boutique tropicals and outdoor ornamentals, transforming ordinary areas into welcoming, healthy, and sustainable environments.

As a woman-owned, small business startup in Des Moines, Iowa, we are passionate about enhancing your surroundings with our carefully curated selection of plants. Plants bring peace and they’re wonderfully quiet. Let’s slow down and grow it! 

Oh! And we specialize in native perennials. 

​

Let’s turn your landscape into your hideaway. If we plant tall things, no one will be able to find us!

The greenhouse is done! Watch videos of the installation from the fall of 2025 on our Facebook page.

We installed a Climate Battery to help with the heating and cooling costs involved with running a greenhouse. A climate battery system (Ground Air Heat Transfer/GAHT® system) provides sustainable greenhouse climate control by using fans to store excess solar heat in the soil, offering 60-80% reduced heating costs, year-round growing capabilities, and natural humidity control. This system reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
