Visiting the Rose Garden at Greenwood Park, Des Moines Landmark

The blossoms may be waning but their color is still striking. The Clair and Miles Mills Rose Garden is just up the hill behind the stage of the Sylvan Theater. It's probably easier to get to from the Des Moines Art Center directly to the north but today, I was visiting the theater.

This handsome garden is often used as the site for any number of moderate to small events. When I was there, there were men setting up a tent for some sort of outdoor reception.
