Joey and Jesse’s Herb Garden

The sundial in the center of Joey and Jesse’s Herb Garden was a gift to the old horticulture garden in memory of former Ames residents Mary and Paul Peterson, given by their daughters. The Herb Garden was the most popular feature of the old horticulture garden. Several items from the garden have been relocated in the Reiman Gardens. The first trees planted in the Reiman Gardens were the four star magnolia trees in the four corners of the herb garden. These 25-year old trees were moved to their current site in early April 1995, using a 90" diameter tree spade. Joey and Jesse's Herb Garden was a gift from Jeff and Cynthia (Reiman) Lambert named for their two children
