GARDEN AND LABYRINTH OPEN DAILY 09:00 to 19:00 FROM 1st APRIL UNTIL 31st MAY

Entry by donation and many iris varieties for sale in pots

From around the middle of April the iris gardens at Marnes are looking at their best and the exciting blooming season is beginning. The garden is a riot of colour with not just 10,000 irises in flower but roses and blue ceanothus also; a feast for all the senses, with wafting perfumes and panoramic views. No amount of descriptions can do it justice, so we hope you will pay us a visit so that we can share this wonderful area with you.

We shall have a number of irises available in pots so that you can take a favourite variety home with you and there are lots of shady sitting places to relax and admire the views.

We invite you to take a day out, there are lots of good restaurants in the area, 2 in Pinos and several near Bernia mountain. Discover the mountain scenery and the abundant wild flowers which are flourishing too in April and May.

Please come and enjoy!
