Those Bloomin' Irises!

Thursday, May 15, 2008

Tomorrow marks the official opening of Bloom Season, at Montclair's Presby Memorial Iris Gardens. Take a stroll through Mountainside Park, an explosion of color, with 10,000 specimen rhizomes. Careful not to knock over the crowd of avid nature photographers and painters' easels along the way. The world class iris gardens are open daily through June 8.

The opening party is Friday at 6 pm, rain or shine. Reservations required: 973-783-5974, or presbyiris@comcast.net. 474 Upper Mountain Avenue, Montclair.

There's a suggested donation of $5.00. The gardens are beautiful, and new buds iris buds open every day.

$5 suggested donation? So that's what those fences are for to keep the cheap nature lovers out.
Got it.

is that the fence that the town residents helped to pay for? so now they have to pay admission to the garden?

If you're wondering where those five bucks will be going, here's a clue:


I now realize the seriousness of what I did, and will be making restitution to help fix the destruction that I caused. I hope that the Presby Gardens will soon be back to the way they were before all this happened. I hope that the people and town of Montclair can forgive me.

Gawd, everytime I read that letter, or excerpts from it, I can't help but think "corporate-speak." In his own words, my a**.
