Welcome to our mountaintop home in Warm Springs, Georgia. We are located just 1/2 mile from FDR's "Little White House."

The iris garden dates back to 1993 when 6 rhizomes were purchased from one of the mail-order catalogs. One of these was Cabaret Royale by B. Blyth, introduced in 1976. There are now nearly 50 Blyth introductions in our garden. Mr. Blyth is one of the world's premier hybridizers, living in Australia.

The garden now contains about 2,000 iris, 500 different, with 150 being "historic." The garden is an official display garden for The Tall Bearded Iris Society and The Historic Iris Preservation Society- It's the only such garden in the Southeastern U.S.

THANK YOU - To the hundreds who visited during April and May.  The garden recovered well from the 2007 draught, and though bloom was late, it was a nice show.
