Bloom Season has at last arrived! Our 10-acre display garden has really taken off with the sunshine and warm weather our area has experienced this week. If you live locally (anywhere in the Pacific Northwest really), be sure to plan a visit to our Display Gardens during the month of May.
Kicking off Iris bloom season excitement is our Fresh Cut Iris Bouquets delivery. We package one dozen cut stems of tight buds and ship them via overnight delivery. We offer this for a few short weeks only. If you order through May 7th, we can guarantee delivery by May 9th, just in time for Mother’s Day!
Friday, May 9th we officially open our gift shop, plant sale and flower show. We’ll toast the occasion with a tasting from Elixir Liqueur, from Noon to 5:00 p.m.
Saturday & Sunday, May 10th and 11th, we’ll keep the toast going with wine tasting from Methven Family Vineyards from Noon to 5:00 p.m.
Sunday, May 11th, Mother’s Day, we offer a free cut Iris stem to all mothers 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Last minute gift shopping happily accommodated in our Gift Shop, offering unique and lovely Iris-themed gifts and home decor and more.

Hello Schreiner’s, hope you have a great iris season. Here at Sissinghurst Garden in the UK many irises are blooming earlier than usual due to the warm spring we’ve had and it’s so exciting to see them again. Like old friends! Helen (gardener)

Thank you, Helen. Indeed the return of the Iris blooms is very much like the return of old friends. Well put. We’ve had warmer-than-usual weather around our farm too. The early bloomers are opening by the minute. The wash of color across the fields and gardens spreads by the day. Oh joy!
