Ted Lare Garden Center is located just 10 minutes south of Des Moines in Cumming, IA on 88 acres of land. We are open 7 days a week from mid-March through early December every year, with seasonal hours during the winter. Our goal is to inspire our community to create outdoor escapes in their own backyards and help them accomplish that from start to finish. You can find flowers for every season, annuals and perennials, shrubs, trees, houseplants, garden art, handmade local art and so much more here. When you shop with us, you have our support for the entire lifespan of that plant and even after! We are eager to share our knowledge and help you find success in gardening.
