Should anyone live in or near the Chalfonts in Bucks:

Rowan Garden Centre is asking for donations.

IRIS LEGACY
A gentleman from Fulmer with one of the largest private collections of bearded irises
has died and thanks to a coordinated effort between Stoke Poges, Wexham and Fulmer Horticultural Society and The British Iris Society, the irises are to be given away.
Rowan Garden Centre will be one of the distribution points.
Alison will be collecting the rhizomes and they will be available at Rowan from 9am, WEDNESDAY 24th JULY. A charitable donation of £1 per iris will be appreciated with monies being split between The British Heart Foundation and the SP, W & F Hort. Society.
Please bring bags to take them home.
Please share this post to maximise the impact.
Please tell your horticultural friends who may not be on Facebook.
There are literally thousands of irises and 70 different varieties. We will do our very best to get a diverse range. They will not be individually labelled so bring a pen and paper too!

My parents live not too far away - trying to get them over there for me!!!!

My mum managed to get over for me. Got there at 9.30 & they had almost sold out!! They were inundated with people.

Mum asked for 30 as requested but they'd had to limit how many people could have so got 12.

Seems like they had a successful day and raised lots of money for charity.

That's fantastic, Humph. Hope you and your Mum have a good selection.!!

Yes fingers crossed. Not sure what I've got - picking them up Saturday......

Big thankyou to you for putting this on here - like so many people I can say the chicken made me do it
