Garden in the Woods and Nasami Farm Opening (Wayland, MA)
In a place visitors often describe as magical, you’ll find a botanic garden just west of Boston that showcases New England native plants in a beautiful natural setting: 45 acres sculpted by retreating glaciers into eskers and steep-sided valleys, with a brook, pond, and wetlands. Here you’ll find inspiration for your own garden and a new appreciation for the varied plant life of our region. Our seasonal opening is happening April 14th.

View event website »Santa Fe Iris Society Show (Santa Fe, NM)
Showing iris in our area is always a gamble, but our society covers such a large area that we can generally have a good show anyway (except for the 1996 show, which didn’t happen due to horrendous drought conditions). The best part about a show (aside from getting to spend a day with all out iris friends) is that if we can put on a very nice show with artisan design arrangements even if unexpected cold weather occur. The Santa Fe lris Society has been innovative, humorous and sentimental with the themes of our shows.
