Iowa State has maintained a [[horticulture]] garden since 1914. [[Reiman Gardens]] is the third location for these gardens. Today's gardens began in 1993 with a gift from [[Roy Reiman|Bobbi and Roy Reiman]]. Construction began in 1994 and the Gardens' initial {{convert|5|acre|m2}} were officially dedicated on September 16, 1995.

Reiman Gardens has since grown to become a {{convert|14|acre|m2}} site consisting of a dozen distinct garden areas, an indoor conservatory and an indoor butterfly "wing", butterfly emergence cases, a gift shop, and several supporting greenhouses. Located immediately south of [[Jack Trice Stadium]] on the ISU campus, Reiman Gardens is a year-round facility that has become one of the most visited attractions in central Iowa.

The Gardens has received a number of national, state, and local awards since its opening, and its [[rose garden]]s are particularly noteworthy.  It was honored with the President's Award in 2000 by All American Rose Selections, Inc., which is presented to one public garden in the [[United States]] each year for superior rose maintenance and display: "For contributing to the public interest in rose growing through its efforts in maintaining an outstanding public rose garden."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.reimangardens.com/en/awards_and_publications/ |title=Awards and Publications |access-date=December 24, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080807173000/http://www.reimangardens.com/en/awards_and_publications/ |archive-date=August 7, 2008 }}</ref>
