Opening May 31 – Picture Perfect: Celebrating 30 Years of Beauty at Reiman Gardens

Summer Exhibit | May 31 – October 12, 2025

Get ready to strike a pose! Reiman Gardens is turning 30, and we’re celebrating in style with one of our most photo-friendly exhibits yet: Picture Perfect: Celebrating 30 Years of Beauty at Reiman Gardens.

Wander through 12 stunning Instagrammable displays specially designed to highlight the color, creativity, and charm that have defined the Gardens over the past three decades. From whimsical floral frames to larger-than-life garden art, each stop is a visual experience—and the perfect backdrop for your next unforgettable photo.

Displays will include a Pollinator Hotel, a miniature greenhouse constructed of recycled doors and windows made by Iowa State University students, a wooden kids-sized version of the RG Express train, and so much more.

Whether you're here to stroll, snap, or simply soak in the beauty, Picture Perfect is a vibrant tribute to 30 years of Reiman Gardens memories.

Garden Spaces Join in the Celebration

The exhibit isn’t the only attraction at Reiman Gardens. Summer is the “peak Reiman Gardens” experience, with garden spaces that explode with all of their colorful blooms. Garden space themes all be related to celebrations and will include a “Pollinator Party,” an Alice in Wonderland “Unbirthday”-themed Party in the Children’s Garden, a “Wedding Party” in the Campanile Garden, and a “Chocolate Party” in the Edible Garden, with plants that are all used in making chocolate. 

Grab your camera, gather your crew, and come celebrate with us—one picture-perfect moment at a time.
