Can I cancel my membership and get a refund?
Memberships to Reiman Gardens are considered tax-deductible donations and are non-refundable. We sincerely thank you for your support of Reiman Gardens.
Are memberships transferrable to friends or family?
Memberships are non-transferable. In other words: you cannot share your cards with others. Only those whose names are listed on the card may use the memberships and its benefits.
I am a long-time member of the Gardens, but I am not receiving member-only newsletters. Why is this?
Please check your junk email, as oftentimes our members will find our newsletter there. If it is not there, it is very likely you unsubscribed from our mailing list. Members newsletters are sent ONLY via email, not by mail. If you unsubscribe, you will not receive any member news, member-only invites, etc. If you are not receiving member e-newsletters, simply contact the Membership Specialist at 515-294-3755. She will send you a link where you will need to resubscribe. We at Reiman Gardens cannot add you back, you must resubscribe on your own.
I would like to be featured in the Member Spotlight in the member e-newsletter. How do I go about submitting this?
We love highlighting our members and why they love their membership. Please contact our Membership Specialist and she will send you a questionnaire to fill out. You will also need to send a face framing photo.
What is the Reciprocal Admission Program and how do I use my Reiman Gardens membership when I travel?
Great news! Members can get into other botanical gardens completely for free or at a greatly reduced cost through the Reciprocal Admission Program. Simply present your membership card and a valid photo ID to the botanical garden you are visiting. Be sure to check the AHS website to ensure the botanical garden you are visiting is a participating garden. The RAP program is for free/greatly reduced general admission. It does NOT include getting in for free at special events at other gardens.
Which members are eligible for the digital magazine subscription?
Brand new members who have not yet held a membership with Reiman Gardens previously are eligible for this special offer. This offer is provided by the American Horticulture Society and is subject to change. Please contact the Membership Specialist for more information.
Current Iowa State University employees (faculty, P&S, merit, and contract) receive a 20% discount* off any membership level upon verification of employment. Memberships may be purchased at the Gardens (bring your ISU ID card), over the phone, or via email with a membership form.
