An especially significant treat awaits the Green Blades Garden Club’s members Feb. 9 at 1:30 p.m. at the Tryon Fine Arts Center.
The club flower is the iris, and their speaker specializes in several iris varieties.
Walter Hoover, owner of Charles Street Garden in Saluda, will talk about “Native Irises.”
His knowledge of this plant is evident in his projects at the North Carolina Arboretum, the Southern Living showcase house at Furman University and the J.C. Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh.
Hostesses for the meeting will be Trudi Hipple, Deborah Fitzgerald and Deborah O’Donnel.
