Adventure Pass Changes in 2025

Due to software issues affecting all libraries using the service, the Des Moines Public Library’s Iowa Adventure Pass program will no longer be available in 2025. Any reservation already made for 2025 will be honored, but we encourage anyone with a current reservation to print those passes immediately. Customers can make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. We hope to reintroduce the service at a later time, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

This interactive workshop will be filled with presentations to expand your gardening knowledge and the opportunity to ask local experts any questions you have from your gardening journey so far. 

Holly Hallman, volunteer and community garden coordinator for the City of Des Moines Parks and Recreation Department, is passionate about plants and organic farming. She aims to inspire others to appreciate the magic of gardening through these fun and educational events.

The City of Des Moines-Parks & Recreation Community Garden Program is part of a network of organizations and agencies working to increase food security, support collaborative gardening efforts, while honoring diverse viewpoints, developing respect, valuing strengths, and bridging differences within our community.  We are here to work with the community while providing organic and culturally significant produce for themselves and their family.
