Just east of the pavilion is a collection of raised beds. Organized into four collections of Dahlias, Iris, Lilies, and shade ornamentals, these beds are managed by MG Elva Sellens.
Iris Bed
The Iris Bed was given a makeover by MG Volunteer Betty Ison, creating a large rectangular bed with cinderblocks. The cinderblocks also function as containers for several different types of miniature irises.
