Our Annual GardenTour
Iowa Regional Lily Society

The year 2007 marked the 34th year that the Iowa Regional Lily Society has been a chartered affiliate of the North American Lily Society.

A three-garden tour was held on June 30 in Altoona, IA. It began at the home of Dennis and Anne Finch, followed by the gardens of Butch and Alice Wetzel and wrapped up at the home of Jim and Mary Bernau. It was truly a perfect morning filled with beautiful lilies, gorgeous companion plants and wonderful garden friends. Several members enjoyed lunch at Village Inn following the event. (Pictures follow).

 Thank you to all who participated and especially to our gracious hosts.
