The Iris section holds meetings on the third Wednesday of every second month (even numbers) at a Glenorchy LINC, 4 Terry street, 5:30pm. Our meetings are informal and friendly; we are all keen Iris growers. At meetings we discuss the growing and showing of the different types of Irises and the pleasures and problems associated with our hobby.
The Iris and Rose show is in the Hobart Town Hall on the first week-end
in November each year. At this show you can see hundreds of different
varieties of Irises exhibited by our members.
We invite interested persons to join our section. Everyone welcome.
