Historical note

Reiman Gardens' CoHorts was founded in 1995 as part of an effort by local community members to support the goal and mission of Iowa State University's newly established Reiman Gardens. The group provides valuable service and is an integral part in the operation and maintenance of the gardens. The CoHorts help plant the gardens, plan and publicize events, serve as docents and tour guides, and provide other volunteer assistance as needed. Membership in CoHorts is open to anyone who makes a gift equivalent to basic membership to the gardens for one year.
