A Few Words About Us
Welcome to the Bluegrass Iris Society!
Our society promotes an increased interest in all types of iris and the iris in general in the Bluegrass area. We encourage and foster the culture and improvement of the iris, and promote interest in iris with local gardeners, in cooperation with our regional leaders and the American Iris Society (AIS).
Some of Our
Upcoming Events
We have a fun group of a couple dozen people who come to most of our events – some even larger! We’d love to have you join us to learn more about gardening with irises, and to make new friends.
