Return to Display Gardens List MIS DISPLAY GARDENS
The Median Iris Society has 59 member gardens participating in the MIS Display Garden network for 2007. There are ten new gardens that have been added since the last report. We are glad to add gardens in the states of Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Pennsylvania. There are many areas where there are NO Display Gardens and we urge you to look at the list and see if you could be a representative for public view of our wonderful median class of irises.

The rules for participation as a MIS Display Garden are simple: ¨You need to be a member of the Median Iris Society . ¨You need to be growing a “representative number” of medians, preferably in all 4 classes. ¨You need to make your garden available for viewing by those with an interest in median irises during your bloom season. ¨Complete and mail (or e-mail) in an annual report, which primarily involves identifying those in each class which you thought were noteworthy in your garden this season. To be an MIS Display Garden you do NOT have to: ¨Be an AIS Judge. ¨Buy every new median introduced every year. ¨Buy or lease another acre of land to accommodate your median collection. ¨Accept guest plants from hybridizers for display, if you have limited space but guesting median iris can be a wonderful adventure. We need to continue our hard work of recruiting new MIS Display Garden members. If you see a garden that looks like a good addition, ask if they would be interested. They may be waiting to be asked. I hope we can add gardens yearly. If we make it the goal, we can make it happen.
With the unusual spring for many of our gardens, the reports this year may point out those plants that can handle adverse conditions. I am looking forward to working with all of you as your new Display Garden Chairman. Carol
