Opening Weekend with Elixir’s Iris Liqueur and Methven Family Vineyards

This is the opening weekend for Schreiner’s Iris Gardens and our 90th anniversary! Even after 90 years, this day is just as special as our first and we are excited to celebrate with our amazing community. The sun is out and the Irises are exploding with color and vibrancy, inviting everyone to stay and enjoy the ten acres of display gardens. Coming out to help celebrate opening weekend are Methven Family Vineyards and Elixir Iris Liqueur. They are offering tastings for purchase from noon to 5 p.m. Enjoy a glass of wine or a sipper of liqueur while strolling through the beautiful gardens. Join us 1:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. for How to Dig & Divide Iris Demonstration. This live demonstration and discussion will review the proper time and technique for digging and separating Iris. It’s easier than you think! Free demonstration, open to all. To find out more about Methven Family Vineyards, please visit their website at methvenfamilyvineyards.com.
