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
Located just east of the Pavilion, 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.
