The Botanical Gardens has a large collection of the Midwest's ornamental and native plants, this 14-acre center bordering the Des Moines River features a domed conservatory that houses over 1000 varieties of exotic plants from throughout the world. The center also has an impressive herb garden, tropical and desert plants, and one of the best bonsai collections in the U.S. If you'd like to learn more, here is a link to their website: https://dmbotanicalgarden.com/

Your presence is more than enough, but if you choose to bring a gift, there will be a table where cards and gifts can be placed. If you would rather, you may send your gift to Chase and Carissa's residence beforehand.

We are fortunate enough to already have all the household items we need for our home. Instead, please contribute to our honeymoon fund to help us experience the trip of a lifetime.

The ceremony will be outdoors and followed by an indoor reception. However, we encourage guests to enjoy and explore the beautiful scenery of the gardens and water falls! :)
