I was asked by my son if I would like to go to the Horton Iris Garden in Loomis for a pre-Mother's Day outing with his family of little girls after treating me to breakfast at Mario's Early Toast. Sounded wonderful to me, so we went on a glorious Sunday morning. Well, my little grand girls were thrilled with the abundance of irises, all varieties. They each gave me an iris that they chose from the snipping garden, and my son bought me my choice to plant in my yard. The number of irises planted was off the charts, up and down rolling hills. It was a beautiful experience.
Very beautiful grounds and iris garden. They are open on weekends in April and May (check their website for updates and details.) You can stroll their scenic property and admire the irises in bloom up close, bring a picnic and soak in the scenery and even purchase some bulbs of your own (they are ready in August, I believe.) Very relaxing stop and beautiful irises of all colors, They also have some events throughout the year with craft vendors (Mothers Day weekend is the next one.) Unexpectedly, they also had a small antique shop in their barn-very cool!
Amazing variety of iris... I love flowers so I naturally love visiting botanical gardens... this is a family-run farm located in Loomis in a beautiful and comfortable country setting a few miles from I-80. I made a call first before heading out here to make sure the farm was open and if there were changes to their schedule due to COVID-19. The farm is open only during the blooming season of April and May so today would be the last day of that season. We stopped to get some food to go first before coming here. We found a nice spot with a wrought-iron set under the shade to picnic. It was nice and peaceful, very relaxing. We took our time enjoying the scenery and food. There were lots of beautiful Iris in small plots spread out over 40 rolling acres but since we came late in spring many of the flowers were mostly gone. I was still able to capture some photos of what was left of the blooms. This was a spur of the moment visit as I was looking for something to do on a Sunday morning. Next year I know to come early spring. You may order irises during your visit to the farm and pick up your order in August but there are also potted iris plants of many varieties for immediate purchase. We parked in the grassy area along with the other cars. We didn't need to make an appointment when I called and there is no parking fee. Thank you for sharing your garden. Review #1796
We went to the pumpkin patch and it was amazing. Perfect for little kids - no big rides or ticket booths, just pumpkin picking! Cheap, beautiful, fresh pumpkins!
We visited this garden for the first time and we are in love!! The irises aren't in full bloom right now, but we did the 'pick your own bouquet' (pictures added) and brought some irises home to add to our garden. This garden is highly recommended. They are very friendly and the flowers are beautiful!
Probably one of the most beautiful, peaceful, serene places I've experienced. Beauty around every turn! I can't believe I have been missing all this all this time. The irises and the azaleas were absolutely stunning as was the property itself as a whole. Truly a little slice of heaven! Can't wait to return!
Went to the annual opening. Beautiful display of Iris'. Potted plants went for $10 or $20. If one u liked wasn't offered potted, they would send the rhizome. Was disappointed that they advertised venders and there was only one. We came from Mt. Shasta (4 hours away) and was disappointed that there weren't more venders, food, drinks. The Iris were in beautiful rows. All different and in full bloom. A stunning display!
This place is amazing! Last year, they were closed due to the pandemic. But currently, they are open Friday to Monday from 10 to 5 for the months of April and May. Free admission and parking. Lots of room to admire the dizzying array of iris varieties.
I love to come to the pumpkin patch every year. There are many different types of pumpkins, you can cut your own or choose from some already harvested. Also gourds, Indian corn, squash, etc. Also have iris bulbs available to purchase, a huge assortment of types & colors. Love to see the Horton family each year, all three generations. This is a family run business, they are so nice! This is not a fancy place with rides & that sort of thing, just a fun family farm to visit and enjoy.

Great place for beautiful Irises! Nice place to reserve a table for a picnic! Colorful varied Irises! Some are marked with "RE" bloom multiple times per year! Nice catalog available of all varieties that they carry. Nothing beats an afternoon walk down the rows of colorful Irises as you consider them. A pretty venue for your flower shopping! read more

This is my new favorite pumpkin patch. Parking is in the shade, the family that runs it is so nice, there's a cute photo opportunity spot and the flower picking was so nicely organized. A huge standout that I have never seen before was a pumpkin washing station. So after you had your pumpkins there was a sink with water and scrubbing brushes to clean them up. I was very happy about that. My friends and I came with our little ones at opening on Saturday morning as it was a hot weekend and we all LOVED it and will be back next year. read more

This farm is so beautiful and the iris variety is incredible. There are huge iris gardens, beautiful lawn, a small pond, and picnic tables. I ordered a few bulbs in person and am excited to pick them up in August. They can also be ordered online and shipped. If you are local and garden, you have to visit this farm at least once! read more

Are dogs allowed?
Well behaved dogs on short leashes are allowed around the iris garden. We prefer they are not in the gardens as the rows are narrow and the blooms could be knocked off. And this is how we sell our iris.
