2022 GIS Iris Show and Sale
This year's Georgia Iris Society Iris Show will be held in-person on April 30th, 2022, at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in Atlanta, GA. Our theme this year is "The Iris Forecast"—bring your own plants to participate in the show, or simply enjoy the many other beautiful flowers that will be on display. If you would like to take home your own "piece of the rainbow", there will also be over 100 potted iris plants available for purchase, in an assortment of different varieties. The event is open to the public, and runs from 11am to 4pm. Full details can be found here, in our official show document. Please join us!
