2020 Louisiana Iris Bloom Celebration

Saturday, March 28 2020

Come out and stroll the raised boardwalk that winds through this beautiful cypress swamp to see the irises in bloom at the Northlake Nature Center near Mandeville, La. Members of the Greater New Orleans Iris Society (GNOIS) will be there as co-host to answer any questions about the Louisiana species irises.

The cypress swamp there is home to all five Louisiana species irises which were donated and planted by the GNOIS over the last four years.

The Mandeville Rotary Club will be holding open a “Café” in the pavilion for you to enjoy food and drinks as you take in the spectacular view! The food and drinks will be for sale at a very reasonable cost as a fund raiser for the Nature Center. The GNOIS will be selling their popular "Guide to Louisiana Irises" for $8, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Nature Center.

The boardwalk is open and free to the public during the event. This is a family friendly event, so feel free to bring the kids.
