Marimo Moss Ball Aquarium

5:30 PM – 7:00 PM

909 Robert D. Ray Dr, Des Moines, IA

Aquatic botany is the focus of this unique workshop at the Botanical Garden. Participants learn about the biology of Marimo Moss Balls—rare algal spheres found in freshwater lakes—and create a custom aquarium for them. It is a lesson in miniature ecosystem design and the science of aquatic plant care. Great for ages 10 and up, the class provides a glass container and decor, allowing students to take home a low-maintenance, living biological specimen that serves as a fascinating introduction to the world of water-based flora.
