Tour 15 acres of flowers

A short drive from Des Moines, Iowa takes you to the fertile rolling fields of Madison County (made famous in the novel and film The Bridges of Madison County). The GreenhouseThere you will discover Howell's Dried Florals & Greenhouse, where rainbows of flowers cover 8 gently rolling acres. You will also find an array of intricate tapestries of dried florals, preserved foliage, and home accessories that await to delight you.

Three generations of the Howell family have helped cultivate these fragrant fields on the family farm since 1985. You’re invited to take a leisurely stroll through the fields draped with breathtaking ribbons of color, and visit our greenhouses, filled with decorative plants and flowers.
