I'm a local photographer and have been visiting Schreiner's to photograph their beautiful flowers. It's easy to spend an entire morning there getting lost in the array of beautiful colors and flowers. This is truly one of Oregon's hidden gems, a must-see place to visit!

We visited a couple of weeks ago when the irises were in full bloom. The only thing I can say is WOW! So many varieties and colors to look at. We dressed up in our Sunday best and took some really great family pictures. If you are in the area and you love amazing beauty, the gardens are a must see!

My wife and I were out for a Sunday drive and happened upon this place. What a lucky find. Such a beautiful well maintained garden. Highly recommended during Iris season. They currently require you to purchase your tickets Online due to Covid. This place has an abundance of different types of Iris's. Lupines, peonies and a cool variety of blooming trees. A must see when you're near Keizer Oregon

This is a beautiful garden, filled with a wide variety of flowering plants to enjoy. Stop and shop for bulbs or ride down the road and buy fresh cut flowers in season. Nice place to take a elderly parent or friend. Not too big, flat and laid out well. I would say it is north of Keizer, off River Rd No., not Salem.

If you are in the area, this is an absolute must see. There is a glorious display of their irises and columbines in a park like setting. You can admire the blooms, sit on the benches and even bring a picnic lunch. This is the growers' display garden not a botancial garden. It is even accessible after their business hours. Well worth a stop during the blooming season in May/June. Check first.

If you're in the area during May...this is a Must See! So beautiful!!! I've never seen so many amazing varieties of Iris in one place. The exhibit garden is impressive, and you can even buy bunches to take with you. Loved it!

When we visited this garden, it was a huge vista of irises, most in bloom, some not. The variety of flowers was truly amazing. As often happens, my wife got carried away with taking pictures. It will no doubt appear that she tried to take a picture of each different variety, but that's not a bad thing when you have an attraction as great as this one.

This is another photographers heaven. The last two weeks in May is the best time to visit. They have many functions here, not to mention the beautiful gardens. It's located 33 miles south of Portland. Take exit 263 on I-5. Go to their web site for more info: http://www.schreinersgardens.com/bloom.shtml.

Schreiner's Iris Garden spring display is great for all ages - there are many benches throughout this extensive and well planned out garden. In addition to the hundreds of iris blooms, there are water features, poppies, rhodies, just a great walk about. It is definitely a photographers delight - many come early to shoot photos. The earlier you go, the less people in the garden if you like, but even later in the day, it is exquisite. You may also purchase a variety of bulbs, and they have a great catalog. Prices are inexpensive on up. You can walk as far into the garden as you like. You may experience a lot of garden even if you walk a very short way, and there are many benches to sit and take it all in. Artists also show up and paint out in the garden early in the a.m. for the best light. Check their website for their dates and times. It is an 'ooh and ahhhh' kind of place. You think you just saw the most beautiful iris bloom, and then there is the next one!

Will the iris be blooming April 18th?
SchreinersGardens
Salem, OR
Hello, my goodness please accept our apologies for the delayed response! April 8 is/was too early for iris this year. Our bloom season open house opens May 10 and runs through May 31. Peak bloom is typically around mid-May. Kind regards.
Are there flowers blooming now in early July?
SchreinersGardens
Salem, OR
There are no Iris blooming now. The garden is mostly foliage. We have a few rose bushes, some daisies and "black-eyed susans". May is the best time to visit the gardens, to be sure.
Do you have an area for picnics?
SchreinersGardens
Salem, OR
Hello. Thank you for the inquiry. Yes, during our open bloom season in the month of May, our 10-acre display garden has several picnic tables and Adirondack benches. Generally, there is little in bloom in the display gardens after the first of June. Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

We plan to travel in the area early in April. Will the iris be in bloom?
SchreinersGardens
Salem, OR
Hello! Thank you for writing. Tall Bearded Iris typically begin blooming here in Salem, Oregon at the beginning May. Dwarf Bearded Iris and Intermediate Bearded Iris are usually blooming in late March and Early April. We do have several of these types of Iris in our garden, however Tall Bearded Iris make up the majority of the Display Garden plantings. You are welcome to visit the Display Gardens when you are in the area, just know that the Iris blooms will likely be sparse. At close range, each of them will, of course, be lovely! Let us know if you have any further questions.

We will be visiting Portland in early October. Is it worthwhile to visit the gardens in the fall?
SchreinersGardens
Salem, OR
Hello. While the grounds are open year-round, there are no Iris blooming at this time (save for an occasional, and unpredictable reblooming Iris). The beds have been newly planted with Iris, though, if that is of interest to you. They are mostly cleaned up and have a tidy appearance. There are some rose bushes in bloom and other fall-blooming perennials. If you come on a weekday, you are welcome to pop into the office to say hello. You might also enjoy visiting the Oregon Garden in Silverton while you are in the area in October. Enjoy your visit to the Pacific NW!
Is there an area in the garden where a wheelchair could be used? Parking lot?
