Heather and her mother, Alleah, are pleased to join members of the American Iris Society as contributors to World of Irises. The American Iris Society is a nonprofit that exists for the sole purpose of promoting the culture and improvement of the Iris. The World of Irises blog began in 2011 and is an excellent resource for beginners to learn more about growing this perennial plant.
As contributors, Heather and Alleah will focus on growing irises on the United States East Coast. Many commercial iris farms are located on the West Coast, which can lead to misconceptions and biases about growing irises in other locations.
While surfing the Iris Lovers group on Facebook, Heather stumbled upon Bryce Williamson’s request for new authors for the World of Iris blog. He especially wanted someone to write about growing irises on the East Coast. She immediately thought, “I could do that!” Her next thought was, “I’m sure Mom will help.”
Thus, another adventure begins at the Broley Homestead and we commit ourselves to supporting the American Iris Society in a new way.

The complete text for Growing Irises Out East appears on the World of Irises blog. Heather volunteers as the managing editor of this blog, and it is our pleasure to support the mission of the American Iris Society to organize and share knowledge about the genus Iris.
