2025 Club Event Calendar

Upcoming Club 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.

Would you like to add to your collection of irises with some interesting, colorful, ruffled beauties that have proven to grow well in central Kentucky? Join us for this public sale of irises grown by our members, and buy each plant for only $5 each! Buy more, and get a free rhizome added in!

The sale lasts from 10am to 2pm, but we often sell out sooner. Come early to get the best and most beautiful irises for your home garden.
