Feb 13, 2021 BDG Workshop - Using Iris to Enhance Your Perennial Beds 

 

If you want to increase your gardening knowledge and skills, the Bellevue Demonstration Garden (BDG) Workshop series can help you. A broad range of topics which are based on scientific information emphasizing plants and methods that work in the Pacific Northwest will be discussed. These workshops are appropriate for both beginning and experienced gardeners. Current science and techniques are emphasized. Participants can expect to learn about new methods and plants as well as the tried and true. Topics will vary from vegetable to ornamental cultivation and may discuss blending both in your garden beds.

The February 13, 2021, workshop will be presented by Patrick Spense who will speak about Using Iris to Enhance Your Perennial Beds. Patrick and Margaret Spense are owners of Cascadia Iris Gardens in Lake Stevens, Washington. They specialize in all types of iris, from the dwarf bearded iris that begin the bloom season, to the majestic Japanese irises that will take your breath away, and an amazing variety in between. Patrick also hybridizes Japanese and Siberian irises. Both Margaret and Patrick are accredited judges for the American Iris Society. Patrick travels nationally to train current and student judges.
