I can remember going to the Botanical Center as a kid.  The banana trees were what I always remembered because I’d never seen that before!

These days when it’s warmer than winter, but not yet spring make a trip to the Botanical Center a great way to spend some time.

My brother got married and took pictures in the botanical center, because December is not a great time of year for outdoor pictures.  If there’s a place that makes you want a vacation more, or reminds you of being on vacation more please tell me!  What a beautiful place–one that so many people visit as kids and never return to.

What do you think about the Des Moines Botanical Center?
