Re: HIPS & AIS display gardens

Posting this reply to the list, in hopes of
getting others interested in being a HIPS
display garden:

The coordinator for the HIPS display gardens is
Laetitia Munro (lmmunro@hotmail.com). She's very
nice - we were roommates at the AIS convention in
Fresno this year. As far as I know the only requirement
is that the garden contain at least 15 named historic
iris. A list of the display gardens is distributed
to HIPS members annually. Contact Laetitia and she
can send you a sign-up form.

We're a display garden too...

Hi all,

Does anyone know who is in charge of information on display gardens
recognized by HIPS.  I would like to find out requirements to be listed.
The Rio Grande Botanic Garden is getting quite a lot of oldies now, and
most will be in public displays very soon (one planting already is).  My
impression is that the list through HIPS is just an informal listing of
gardens displaying old Iris, with no "official" recognition???

Actually same question regarding AIS.  I have never seen any information as
to whether AIS even lists display gardens anywhere.  Many horticultural
societies do, and I'd like to learn more if possible.

Thanks,

Dave
