Our goal is to stimulate interest in irises by garden visitation, iris sales, disseminating educational material, sponsoring iris shows, and promoting membership in AIS. We are based in Salem within minutes of Schreiner's, Mid-America Garden, and Keith Keppel. We meet almost every month at Chemeketa Regional Training Center, 4910 Brooklake Rd., Salem, OR 97305. Besides speaker programs by leading iris hybridizers, our members enjoy judges' training, exhibition workshops, and a colorful newsletter.
