Iris Purchase Instructions

Purchase iris
  • We are usually in the garden but if you don't see us there are order forms and clip boards at the information board near the front entrance to the garden for you to fill out.  Each iris has a name tag near the plant. Once you have completed your order bring your order form to the table in front of the shop whereby a digger will dig your iris order.  Once the order is filled the digger will bring your order to the table whereby payment is issued. 
  • Please be aware if we experience a great amount of rain we may not be able to dig due to the soggy ground.

Caring For Your Irises

  • Irises bloom best with full sun and little water
We encourage posting on Facebook and Instagram.
