Mark your calendars for our Open Garden days, when we welcome old friends and new for lemonade and ginger snaps on the lawn by our gardens. The dates this year are Sundays, June 17 for Siberian iris and July 15 for Japanese iris.

Included in our June garden is a special collection of peonies, crosses between herbaceous and tree peonies which were grown on from seed provided by the American Peony Society. Recently Coastal Maine Botanical Garden carried a feature article describing the garden merit of these plants. The pinks, whites and yellows look lovely with Siberian Irises and the upright nature of the peony hybrid makes staking unnecessary. We grow a complete collection of Currier McEwen irises as well as irises developed by hybridizers from across the country and the world. In July annual poppies and Japanese Irises make a spectacular combination.

We grow many varieties of irises not listed in our catalog. When visiting you may select from irises established in containers or order irises growing in the gardens which we will dig and grow on for you to pick up on Sunday, August 26 after 1:00 P.M. Plant orders may also be shipped (see shipping details).

Our gardening work often takes us away from the nursery but you are always welcome to visit with the flowers.  If you want to talk with us or order irises (other than on open garden days) we ask that you phone or email us in advance to arrange a convenient time to visit so that we can greet you.  Garden tours are usually scheduled on Mondays and Tuesdays.

We also offer garden design, plant installation and maintenance. Our staff includes a bevy of gardeners: two master gardeners, a head gardener, a design consultant and a consulting landscape architect. We tailor our services to the individual client; our range of services is both individualized and broad. Over the years we have established working relationships with trade people in the Harpswell area. We feel confident in our ability to recommend and work with a well-qualified local person should your project be beyond our scope.

Thank you for your continuing support of our efforts here at Eartheart Gardens: growing healthy Irises and bringing the pleasure of their beauty to you.
