Well maintained gardens with nice benches to sit and relax. We spent close to two hours lounging here while our kids played and ran across the garden and had great fun. There is also a nice play area right across the road.

I have had my irises for 8 years and this is the first time I noticed cucumber-like bulbs growing at the ends of about a dozen stems. The flowers are now dead, but these growths are where the flowers once were. What are they?

Emily G. Zuppa | Oct 1, 2019
Mark Newell | Oct 1, 2019

Seed pods. Cut them off. Only breeders want seeds. Plants are stronger if the flowers are never allowed to produce seeds. This is true for other perennial flowers and annuals as well, although some things like dill are grown for seed.

I live in Maryland, is it too late to visit this year? Are the blooms over? I wish the number on the website got you to a person. The messages one listens to is never totally clear.

Depending on how fast you can here, the flowers are at peak Bloom right now. Great time to visit

When can we see the irises in full bloom? We visited two weeks ago and just a few were in bloom.

Luz C. | Oct 1, 2019
Lm Morris | Oct 1, 2019

I was there today and they were in bloom but what I noticed was some had already bloomed. There were plenty in bloom today and since this weekend is supposed to be beautiful I imagine more Iris will be in bloom. So go this weekend if you can. If you want to visit the gift shop go before June 2nd it will close for the season. It's open from 10am - 3pm daily until June 2nd. Enjoy😊

A very cold summer, long delayed this year. Any predictions when your iris will be in bloom? Would coming in mid-May be too early this year?

Moa Bird | Oct 1, 2018
Martha Orbach | Oct 1, 2018

Late May or the first of June, but Presby is gorgeous everyday of the year.

Mid to late May. There are usually blooms to see at our Mother's Day lunch, but peak comes a couple of weeks later. Many factors determine peak. We have no way to predict.
