Welcome
Hello and Welcome to Trails End Iris Gardens!
It's the middle of January and we are in a deep freeze; a great time to update
our website. We have already updated the list of all the varieties that we are offering
this year along with this year's pricing. There are many new and exciting varieties
focusing of course on the top award winners. We can hardly wait until spring to see
their beautiful blooms.
Another change for this year is our E-mail addresses which are bob@trailsendiris.com or
ann@trailsendiris.com.
Trails End Iris nursery is located in South-Western Ontario, Canada between
Brantford and Hamilton in Canadian hardiness Zone 5b.
Bob and I grow Award Winning varieties of Bearded Irises, including
the newest introductions and Dykes Medal winners, for retail
customers and garden centers. We take pride in offering only the highest quality
rhizomes, grown with loving care. Bob pays particular attention to accuracy and quality
by digging our plants by hand and then I carefully clean and identify each rhizome.
We place a premium on customer service which is reflected in the many
positive testimonials from our happy customers.
Each year visitors come from all over Southern Ontario during May and June to tour
the gardens and admire the riot of color.

On our 10 acre Iris farm, we have developed perennial beds showcasing the Irises
amongst companion plantings of peonies, ornamental grasses, shrubs, trees and various
rockery plants. There are approximately 6000 Iris plants comprised 0f over 400 varieties, most of them blooming in the
gardens or in the production beds. Visitors can enjoy easy access to the gardens across
lawns or enjoy the view from a shaded bench. For customers wishing to purchase potted
Irises, there is a limited selection available to take home.
We ship Irises across Canada in late July and early August. By keeping accurate records
of our inventory, Bob and I are careful to not oversell our product which enables us to
deliver as promised while still maintaining our parent stock.
We test our new acquisitions for at least one season before making them available
for sale. These are marked as "Available in 2010" or in other cases, "Garden Viewing Only".
If you wish to order any of these varieties, you can do so by sending a deposit of $10.00
per variety to hold your reservation. Depending on the vigor of the variety and Mother
Nature, some of these
"Coming Attraction" plants may be available this year.
If you have any questions, feel free to E-mail us. Bob tries to answer our E-mails
daily. If you wish, you can telephone us at (519) 647-9746.
We may be outside gardening, so please leave a message and
we will return your call as soon as possible.
Hoping to hear from you soon,
Bob and Ann
