About the willot iris garden
Our History
Dedicated in 2012, the Willott Iris Garden is located on the grounds of the Rockefeller Park Greenhouse. It was started by Anthony (Tony) and Dorothy Willott, local iris enthusiasts who hybridized, or bred, plants to develop new colors and other alluring features. The Willott Iris Garden is supported by the Friends of Greenhouse, our generous doners, and affiliates.
Garden features
The Garden is home to over 600 varieties of irises. The Willotts hybridized more than 400 varieties, many of which are national and international award winners. 150 of these are preserved in the Willott Iris Garden. Fittingly, the Garden is also home to a growing collection of commemorative pavers situated along the Garden pathways. These pay loving tribute to individuals who, like the Willotts, enriched the lives of others.
