It's The Great Iris Sale!
The Fredericksburg Area Iris Society is holding their annual rhizome sale THIS Saturday, July 25. This will be our second year at our (relatively) new location, Meadows Farm Nurseries on Rt. 3 West (5043 Plank Road, Fredericksburg, VA 22407). The Society will be there from 8:00 until 3 (or until sold out). Come early for the best selection. We will have a huge selection of all types of bearded irises, and again this year we will try to have a fairly good selection of beardless irises--Siberians, Louisianans, Japanese, and species--although there will be a limited number of each named variety.
Oh Deer! What to Plant?
If you live at Lake of the Woods you have likely had your share of troubles with deer.
Now there is help! One of our new residents, Anna Smith, is sharing with us a list of deer-resistant plants that also further identifies their characteristics, conditions and habitats. This list will help you identify plants that you might like to add to your garden! To download the list and print for yourself, click here. Many thanks to Anna for sharing this list with us! We look forward to having you join our ranks in May! Newsletter Deadlines
