BETTENDORF, IOWA (April 1, 2026) — Wallace’s Garden Center will hold a ribbon cutting to celebrate the opening of their new greenhouse on Friday, April 17, 9AM. Wallace’s is located at 2605 Devils Glen Road in Bettendorf, Iowa.

After a fire destroyed over 12,000 square feet of greenhouse space in May of 2025, Wallace’s is excited to start its 45th spring season with an upgraded facility including new technology in climate-control and irrigation. This enhances the shopping experience for their customers. Started in 1981, Wallace’s employs 47 employees and is a staple in the Bettendorf community.

Wallace’s Garden Center is a family-focused and service-oriented garden and home store, known for quality, homegrown plants, expert staff, and inspiring displays and ideas. Rooted in Bettendorf for over fifty years, they are more than a home and garden store. Wallace’s strives to be a part of our community by supporting great organizations, schools and events as well as providing seasonal fun for all families.
