Latest NewsPlease join us on Tuesday, March 5, 6:30pm at First Friends Church, 3030 Kessler Blvd, East Drive, as Chuck Bunnell presents "The Move: Relocating An Iris Garden". Chuck is a retired PhD chemist from Eli Lilly who began growing iris fifteen years prior to his retirement and quickly found he could fill many hours with this hobby. He not only grows iris but has been hybridizing iris for the past 34 years. Chuck has introduced 14 iris in the Miniature Tall Bearded classification. His introduction, "Dividing Line", introduced in 2005, was the first MTB iris awarded the top honor in the American Iris Society, winning the Dykes Medal in 2014. This past summer, he and his wife, Barb, moved from their 10 acre homestead to a small lakeside plot. Moving from a garden with over 1000 named iris varieties along with his seedling beds which housed up to another 1000 iris he was evaluating, became a challenge. Join us as he shares his decision-making about which iris to move, and what the process involved. Check us out and Like us on Facebook |
