 Welcome to
GSIS!
The Garden State Iris Society is a club for New Jersey
gardeners, growers and lovers of garden irises. An affiliate
of the
American Iris Society, we recently became part of AIS Region
3, which now comprises New Jersey,
Delaware and Pennsylvania. [Read more about
our history prior to the
merger]
 If you
want to learn more about growing and
showing irises,
please join us.
We hold regular meetings with
programs related to all phases of iris culture including:
- Local garden tours
- Annual spring
shows
- Annual iris rhizome sales, and
- Luncheons
with renowned iris gardeners and
hybridizers as speakers.

Although participation in the Region's
local activities doesn't require
membership in the American Iris Society, we do encourage you to join the
national organization, too. AIS membership entitles you to
four quarterly, colorful and informative
bulletins.
Not just for judges, these upcoming sessions will be enjoyable and educational for all members:
