Another Gardening 101 workshop at Garvan Woodland Gardens

Gardening 101 Workshop: "Irises"
April 30
9:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. - Garden Grounds and Magnolia Room


Join Karen Johnson to learn the basics of the beautiful iris. You will start the day with a short stroll through the Gardens to identify different species of iris located in the Gardens and, then, continue your class indoors for a hands-on presentation. From the Bearded, to the Louisiana, to the Japanese Iris, Karen will focus on topics such as planting, re-blooming, and diseases and pests. She will also discuss how and when to transplant your iris and what types of fertilizer to use.

After the presentation, each student will have the chance to divide and clean their own iris to take home and plant. Cost is free to GWG members; Regular Gardens admission for non-members. Pre-registration is required. Call 262-9300 or 800-366-4664 to register. Space is limited so reserve your spot now.
