Compact demonstration gardens, greenhouses, native prairie strips and seasonal perennial beds offering rich color, texture and close-up plant detail. Best in spring–early fall for blooms; golden hour and overcast days flatter colors. Easily reachable by car with on-site parking at the Corn Crib; generally free public access but check ISU hours and weekday schedules for workshops. Paths and raised beds make compositions accessible for tripods and low angles.
