The grounds of Iowa State University offer several places to catch some natural beauty this spring as the weather warms and dormant plants start to bloom again.
Reiman Gardens
What to see: 50,000 tulips and much more
A logical place to start to look for flowers on ISU's campus is Reiman Gardens — home to "aromatic herbs, Dr. Griffith Buck roses, a towering palm tree, native prairie species, and so much more," according to the Gardens' website.
Reiman Gardens is going to host extended weekend hours later this month and into May for the public to see its 50,000 tulips "at their prime," said Maria Teply, communications coordinator for the Gardens.
