Trick or Trees

Each October, the Greater Des Moines BOOtanical Garden transforms the dome into one of Central Iowa’s most unforgettable destinations.

Experience Trick or Trees: where you can enjoy a family-friendly, non-scary day of trick-or-TREEting as we celebrate the spooky side of plants. Explore festive entertainment, educational activities, costumes, magic, and fall-favorite foods throughout the Garden. Bring your curiosity and your costume for a full day of fun at the BOOtanical Garden.
