100 Years of Iris explores one of America’s oldest and most celebrated flower farms, Schreiner’s Iris Gardens, located in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. They are celebrating their 100th anniversary of business this year!
In an era where specialty nurseries and small family farms are rapidly disappearing, Schreiner’s is a rare gem. This 100-year anniversary is a testament to their unwavering quality and deep commitment to cultivating beauty.
Last May, we made the trip south to spend time with the Schreiner family and get a peek behind the scenes of their operation and how it’s evolved over the years. We filmed every part of our visit, including their planting process, how new varieties are hybridized, and how they dig, organize, and ship tens of thousands of rhizomes each season, plus their iris fields in full, rolling bloom.
The film also showcases Schreiner’s annual “Bloom Season Event,” which they are so well-known for. From mid-May to June, thousands of visitors make the annual pilgrimage to witness peak bloom time. It is truly a magical place as well as a herculean feat to pull off.
If you’re interested in adding irises to your garden or want to expand your collection, now is the time to place your order for the best selection. Schreiner’s will start shipping rhizomes out in July, and if you plant them right away, they’ll bloom next spring.

I loved the whole video but I especially liked the honesty on how hard the work is and how it could be a difficult process deciding what to do with your life.
