You may conclude that the rainbow begins right here at Howell's Dried Floral and Greenhouse, where you'll see more than 5 acres of flowering garden tours, and our giant barn filled with beautiful, naturally air-dried florals and arrangements. We grow more than 53 different flowers, pods and grains; complemented by our beautiful greenhouse selection of live plants for your hanging baskets, yard plantings, containers, andgrowing decoration needs. Pumpkin Patch in the fall and Christmas Tree in the winter.
Seasonally, we offer: apples, raspberries, cherries, pears, strawberries, plums, apricots, blackberries, tomatoes, watermelons, cantaloupes, asparagus, peppers, cabbage, radishes, squash, sweet corn, and pumpkins. If we don’t grow it, we vow to get the best of seasonal fruits, such as the southern Missouri peaches and Palisades (Colorado) peaches. Iowa Orchard is very active in the Des Moines Farmer’s Market scene, attending seven markets per week throughout summer and fall. Our school tours begin September first and are run by life-long friend, JoAnn Craig. She is also co-author of the Iowa Orchard Favorites cookbook and loves to help the Etchen family every fall.
