Walter Flory Memorial Iris Garden
Major renovations took place in the iris garden in 2022. New paths and a beautiful seating wall were installed. In 2023, several of the bearded iris were planted back into the bed along with native companion perennials and grasses. More plantings, including a collection of native irises, are going to be planted this spring.
The Quarters Gardens
Gardens immediately around the Quarters building highlight Virginia natives, a tribute to Blandy's volunteers, and unique nonnative plants suitable for our area. Due to its southern exposure and protection from wind, the courtyard garden of the Quarters contains some plants that do not survive our winters.
