for those interested in these spectacular gardens in Brooks, Or (north of Salem)that are full of a huge variety of flowers , I just spoke with them, and the peak for the iris will be in about 2 weeks. Weekdays are best, as it can be crawling with people on weekends.

do they allow after-hours access?
Posted by SandyRichardsBrown on May 16, 2008 at 2:44 PM
Hi, Curtis, I am always there until dark. I think the hours listed are for the small store onsite. the gardens themselves are very open - no fencing, open parking lot, etc. But the people do live there (main house and a couple small houses for workers) so be respectful.
They are very nice people and the place has been there for a very long time.
A huge variety of flowers, conditions, bees, etc.

I posted several from Schreiner's last year that people seemed to like, and more to come in 2 weeks!

I remember their viewing garden having several varieties of flowers that were quite cool - especially remember some columbine...
