The de la Motte Garden Home
5812 N. Walnut, Turlock         irisgreens (at) hotmailcom Garden tours

Host:  Ron and Lori de la Motte

The de la Motte family farm "IRIS GREENS" was once an almond orchard and is, upon completion of the primary bloom season, a family driving range.

Ron began hybridizing TBs in the early 1990's and opened the commercial gardens in 2002.  His seedlings are guests throughout the convention gardens and reflect Ron's love of golf, though not his handicap. 

All irises form the background to the annual Easter Sunrise Service.
