Located in Point Defiance Park.
About
Established in cooperation with the Pierce County Iris Society, the Iris Garden contains 101 tall bearded iris, 80 Pacific Coast iris hybrids and 26 iris tectorum, all in assorted colors.
During construction in 1992, cobblestones from old Tacoma streets were used for the walls.
The garden site is comprised of five sections – one bed is dedicated to tall bearded iris, two beds to various median irises, one bed to beardless iris (Siberian and Pacific Coast iris), and there is a Louisiana section.
Volunteer
Garden Club Volunteers are vital to help maintain the botanical gardens in Point Defiance Park. Regardless of your expertise, if plants are your passion, we’d love to have you join us in nurturing ours.
