Iris at 3 Sister garden 2022
Three Ssters Garden is located at the Madera Community College Center and home to the Madera Master Gardeners. The garden has a large Iris garden at this site. Each year the iris bloom just in time for the Spring Garden Tour. But there is the labor of love during the summer, all iris rhizome are dug out of the ground! Master Gardener volunteers, dig, sort and transplant the rhizome for the coming year. 

Have questions about rhizomes? Madera Master gardeners have the Iris Team. Look for them at the Madera District Fair starting September 8. MG volunteers will be there to answer questions and give away some of the wonderful iris shizomes. 

Check our UCANR Madera Master Gardener website for more information about iris and how you might be able to plant some in your garden this year.
