Metzger Gardens, 1250 Tucker Hill Dr, Hinton, IA, 51024
The Metzger native gardens were started in Spring of 2020 by Danielle & James and are ever-expanding with each passing year. Each garden has a name and was designed by Danielle using plants mostly from Loess Hills Wild Ones native plant sales.

Most of the rock borders for the gardens were transported from Danielle’s father’s farm located in Buena Vista County. Danielle has a love for grasses and sedges. Her favorite wildflowers are the varied species of Purple Coneflower (Echinacea) and Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa). Her love of the Monarch Butterfly is what sparked and ignited her joy of native gardening.
Refreshments and restrooms will be available. Hosts: Danielle, James & Lilly Metzger

A Garden Smorgasbord
1088 Pachsama Ct., Sioux City, IA 51108
Welcome! Our gardens began in 2002, soon after moving into our new home. Vegetable beds were first, flower bed followed and continued to evolve.
I admit to being a plant collector - I like most everything! I have been incorporating native plants into my established beds and have just started a native garden in front of my she-shed (all are first year plantings). My efforts to get a few patches of natives started in the brome grass has been challenging. I keep sowing seeds each fall, hopefully some will take off. Enjoy!
