On the Road Tour – Timeless Perennials

Join the WSU Extension Clark County Master Gardener program for an On the Road Tour and leave the driving to us. It’s peak iris season at Schreiner’s Garden in Salem. It’s their 100th Anniversary, a testament to their commitment to these beauties. We’ll have a presentation and learn about new hybrids, award winning varieties, tour their fields and display gardens. We can shop potted irises and/or place an order.

Next, we head to Adelman’s Peony Gardens which has over 30 acres and over 500 varieties of peonies. We’ll learn more about this family-owned garden, new varieties, and how to better grow peonies. We’ll tour their fields, display gardens and have an opportunity to purchase or order more.

Lunch is on your own at Route 99 Restaurant.

Finally Garden World, or “10 Acres of Awesome” in Hubbard. They have a diverse inventory from local growers to enhance any size garden. We’ll learn which plants do best with our current conditions, including how to address the changing needs of our gardens.
