Central Gardens of North Iowa
About this place
A 20-garden site covering three acres in Clear Lake, with themed plantings and open ground for walking. Families can explore different garden styles, attend free events and programs throughout the year, and watch seasonal changes in the flower beds. The grounds also include the Council Ring, a gathering space honoring Native American heritage, and a children's garden with vegetables, herbs and flowers grown organically. The venue hosts picnics, reunions and celebrations, and most of its over 70 annual events are free to attend.
