About the Event

Have your bearded irises been in the ground for three or more years, and are they looking crowded? Mid-July through Labor Day is the perfect time to divide and replant them to reinvigorate them! Master Gardener Mary Collins, who is also a member of the Clara B. Rees Iris Society, will explain and demonstrate how to dig up, divide, and replant your Irises to ensure they will have spectacular Blooms next Spring!

Please note:

  • Participants should wear closed-toed shoes, layered clothing, and a hat, as the class is held outdoors.
  • Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time to park and sign in.
  • The park charges $6.00 for parking; or park closer to our area on Chynoweth Avenue near Vauxhall Circle for free (parcel location in Google Maps).

Operated in partnership with the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department.
