The 12- acre Heartland Harvest Garden is one of the largest edible landscapes in the nation. It features more than 2,000 varieties of food-plants growing in spirals, Villandry-style quadrants, and heritage quilt designs. It is designed to answer the question: Where does food come from and how does it grow? It includes tasting stations, an outdoor cafe, a gift shop and a four-story observation silo.

This garden, established in 1992, demonstrates the efficient use of water in landscaping. It provides an attractive area for strolling and relaxing in an urban setting.
