Field trip to Greenwood Daylily Gardens

Irises are the theme for our BAGSC's 25th Anniversary exhibition in the fall. Irises are a complicated flower. In preparation for painting, and for Carol Woodin's Iris workshop one week later, BAGSC is going on a field trip to Greenwood Daylily Gardens, a flower farm in Somis begun in 1989 by John and BAGSC member Cynthia Schoustra.
