Welcome to Des Moines Plants

I did a thing.
I'm doing a thing.
It's not done.
We built a greenhouse. I didn't want to, my hubby insisted.
So I've a long way to go. Just got water in March. But it's the easiest thing i've ever done, like falling off a log.
This year's offerings will be small. But I'm planning for next year and more variety. I've grown everything myself. But i'm also talking to Proven Winners.
I'll never be PineyRidge/HomeDepot/Goodes.
I'll be small but mighty.
I'll grow what I love.
Thanks for reading this far. This year I'll have geraniums, Verbena bonariensis, Yarrow, etc.
It's on the website: www.DesMoinesPlants.com
The website's not done.
The inspections/licensing/State of Iowa stuff is done.
There's little parking (tons on the street). The hours will be ..... not sure. Text me, i'm always in the greenhouse.
What am I thinking? IDK, but now i have to prove to hubby that I can sell these plants. Will you come visit and pick up a few plants?!!

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.
