What do eyebrow tweezers have in common with sexual reproduction? Discover the answer at a Markham workshop—Hybridizing Iris with Stan Morgan!

In this hands-on class, iris expert Stan Morgan will teach about hybridizing iris. The only tool you’ll need to bring is a pair of eyebrow tweezers! Stan will show you how it’s done!

Stan will teach you about selective breeding—the magic of combining or selecting plant characteristics.

This class will be of interest to anyone who wishes to improve an iris in their garden, create a new cultivar, or just experiment and see what happens.

Space is limited so please register now.
