Gardens requesting Official AIS status must complete the following form accompanied by photos.

*Criteria for Display Gardens:*

The purpose of a display garden is to show off Iris to the public, so they may see the diversity and beauty of the Iris. Showing the Iris well grown and at their best.

Any public garden displaying a variety of Iris, may be listed as an AIS Display Garden; usually these will have members of local AIS affiliates that volunteer and work in the Iris garden. Affiliates that have the human and financial resources are encouraged to aid in creating Iris Gardens in public places.

Individuals who have created a garden featuring Iris may also become a AIS display garden.

In addition to display these gardens may also be National Collection Gardens and/or Test gardens. But not all National Collection or Test Gardens will be display gardens although they are strongly encouraged to do so.
