The Bob and Ann Story
Ann's background includes various horticultural careers - a garden designer,
teacher and consultant. Having come full circle, she returned back to the countryside
where it all began...in her own garden.
Bob started out pleasing Ann by trying to keep up with her demands - another garden,
adding more compost, moving more plants, improving soil. Now totally brain-washed he caught
the bug several years back and now steers the ship. The photography is his work and patience
has paid off. Our children, grandchildren and now Bob himself continue to improve and add
to this website filled with even more stunning pictures. THe started hybridizing a few
years back and has since registered and introduced several stunning irises.

Nurse's Cap,
Pixie Rider,
Lady Lashes and

Reblooming Iris
Did you know that some irises re-bloom
again in late summer and early fall? They refresh our gardens when everything
else is tired and ready to close up for the season. Our customers are both
surprised and delighted to see their favourite flowers blooming when they pick
up their Iris orders.
