OTIS meetings have programs on new irises, different kinds of irises, and how to grow them. Our members consist of novices, average gardeners, experts, and commercial iris growers. Membership benefits include a newsletter, training by certified iris judges, and tips from iris experts. We put on a judged iris show with individual iris exhibits, as well as beautiful artistic displays.
