Karla, Thanks for the tour! I just absolutely LOVE iris's especially all the different shades of blue that your Dad has.

I just have to go out and plant some more - you have inspired me!!

There are just breath taking. Iris is also my husband's favorite flower. Does he raise them to sell or just for his own enjoyment.

Oh My Gosh! thank you for taking the time and work to share this with us. Stunning! Frank & I love iris. We have one small bed of mixed colors and some others scattered through the yard but seeing those pictures makes me want to take a trip to NY! With my shovel.

That garden would be a full time job. What a credit to your father, it's beautiful. Thanks for sharing some spectacular photos.

Does he raise them to sell or just for his own enjoyment.

First the hybridizing was for enjoyment--then it was to sell since he had so many. He opened for business in 1987--the year my son was born. I helped him for several years while I was home raising kids, but when I started working full time, I retired. Dad said it'd take 4 people to do what I did for him. Good help is hard to find.

Charlotte--he has plenty of shovels! So, just come.

When I worked for Dad--we dug for 100% of the customers. On weekends we'd run those hills for 10 hours. When I retired form the gardens, he decided to start "dig-your-own" to see how it'd work. When my sister worked for Dad, she sat under the shade of the tent and collected money.

does your father ship? I would love to order some

 

[barnbum]

hunterridge--yes, he does. I believe he ships in the fall. I know he's shipped his plants all over the world. Just email him for information. His website is on the first post. He's so incredibly busy now--at peak. So--be patient, they don't get on email every day.
