Salem, Oregon: Schreiner's Iris Gardens

You'll be noticing a lot of garden posts over about a five week spread (starting with Duniway Lilac Garden last week) because it is spring: spring to early summer flowers are blooming!

The next two subjects were quite close together and visited on the same day. Though their specialties were different, both of them had many lupines.

The lupines were there as accents and complimentary colors and textures, but this post is really about the irises.

Schreiner's Iris Gardens are open through May 31st. Purchasing from them is one thing, but having the opportunity to walk among the display beds allows you to experience a very charming spot.

In addition, it smells fantastic. That is not something I can convey in the blog, but it smelled so good!

They also breed and sell allium, which were also displayed in the bed.

The variety of colors was amazing. If you are very particular about what specific color will fill out your garden bed, you should be able to find it.


For us, it was just about being out in the fresh air and taking in the beauty.

We did miss the entrance on the first pass, but this allowed us a nice view of the growing fields. Those would be too vast to explore productively, but the show beds are a nice introduction.

Then you have the option to order flowers for your garden, or to bring home cut flowers, or look at other selected products.

There are only nine days left! Do purchase tickets in advance through the web site.

(If you go, you may wish to combine it with Adelman Peony Gardens, as we did. They are only 2.6 miles away. https://peonyparadise.com/)
