Gorgeous flowers! Admissions is 6 dollars per person if you buy online ahead of time. Went during a weekday and was not crowded at all. Lovely place for photo opportunities and would come here again. read more

Well worth driving through the terrible traffic known as I-5. The way south to Salem was a much easier stroll than the return trip. Some friends, in the know set up a date for us to picnic. It was on their last day open for the iris bloom and it was busy but not crazy. First of all, just pulling in and the sweet people at the front immediately saw my ADA tag and directed me. I pulled up no sweat and grabbed a port o potty right there, before grabbing my bags from the car. They seem rather clean and tended too which is appreciated as no one sane enjoys using a sh*t box so I definitely glad to have it be as painless as possible. The grass walking paths are pretty walk friendly {and I have a cane + mobility challenges} with many colorful benches so you can sit if you need to. I did not know what to expect and I have seen many gardens others described as amazing. l grew up gardening and these are well tended. It helps that they were clearly planted with intention as well which really maximizes blooms. I was almost expecting to just see iris but the iris are within the well maintained gardens with such great variety of other plants. My friends set up in a very lovely shady spot under a tree in the 'secret garden' so a spot less traffic'd with our picnic. Fair warning - the grounds tuxedo kitty is super sweet {and crafty - he saw we had tuna salad!}. I lost track of time or I would have definitely spent a lot in the gift shop which sell iris for your garden. There was a decent amount of 'mystery color' iris in the front of it for $10 each if you are feeling lucky, though can you really lose with that? There were some great looking food trucks, wineries and an ice cream cart if you don't pack your own. We are now planning to do this annually since it was such a great way to spend the afternoon. read more

It has been many years since I visited Shreiner's Iris Gardens, I saw a segment on the news highlighting all the beautiful irises. It prompted me to ask friends if they would like to go. They had never been and were happy to accompany me. We went mid week, parking was plentiful. We paid an admission of $8. After we entered, we were greeted with the most beautiful display of irises. Not only irises, but lupines, clematis, foxgloves..so many different varieties of flowers! So many photo opportunities. We took so many photos of the irises. We posed for photos. We strolled through the grounds trying to appreciate all this garden had to offer. There were many chairs throughout, I finally decided to sit and soak it all in. The beauty, fresh air, bird songs. I could have sat there for hours. There are also many picnic benches to enjoy a nice picnic. I saw a few food carts. My friends who had never been, were truly impressed. And they frequent a lot of other flower gardens. Such a lovely outing! read more

I was expecting pretty, but what we got was stunning! I was incredibly surprised and pleased to see a sea of lupine taller than me as far as the eye could see! We were there the third weekend in May. The irises and anenomes were probably a little bit better the weekend before but the lupine was breathtaking and there were so many other beautifully blooming plants and trees to take in. We've been home 2 days now and the bouquet of flowers we bought are just starting to open up. I can't wait to return next year! read more

Finally made it out here during Mother's Day and we had a great experience. Bought our tickets online ($10 each, free for kids) and had a window of time during which we could arrive. Parking was a breeze. They had a whole building set up with all the varieties on display, which was super neat to see. And then the display gardens were beautiful with SO many colors, shapes, and sizes. Lots of picnic tables to eat at from either food carts or if you bring a picnic lunch. A really pretty place. read more

As a gardener for over 50 years, these are the largest iris rhizomes I have ever seen. While some are what you would expect in a healthy plant, others are huge. I can divide some of them BEFORE planting. Customer service is also excellent, and very helpful. read more

We were shopping in Woodburn and had some time to kill and remembered Schreiner's Garden from seeing it on social media. It was only a few miles away and was easy to get to. The entrance fee is $6.00, very reasonable. There was plenty of seating and benches to enjoy the gardens. We entered and immediately my daughter and I were overwhelmed by the beauty of the gardens. Beautiful colors everywhere with large walking paths, so many gorgeous varieties. We walked down the path to the secret garden and also the iris fields. We will definitely go back!! read more

truly stunning, one of a kind place. the lupines shocked me as well as the clematis vines. never seen flowers so massive. lupines had strong bold stocks. I would've come out with a million bulbs if I could have. So happy we made the time to visit during the blooming season. Drove hours to make the trip. So worth it. read more

Schreiner's has been growing irises since the 1920s. Every year in May they have a garden festival to showcase their garden and the extensive variety of irises they grow. If you want to plant irises you really should go and see all the varieties in bloom so you can chose what to plant for the next year. If planting isn't your thing but you love flowers you will be dizzied by the magnificent flowers and you can take home a huge bouquet of cut irises. read more

Worst service from any plant grower ever. First shipment, one item missing, they replaced it after I notified them. I kept querying when I would receive orders placed in March that were due in August. I received one irritable response. I then received one iris instead of two and was told I would get a refund (this is for Victoria, which they stil have on sale). The iris I have received is not in good condition at all, I doubt it will survive. Repeated requests asking when I will get the refund have been ignored. I've asked them to cancel the rest of my order, that has been ignored too. AVOID. read more

This was the perfect way to celebrate mom. Due to COVID you had to make reservations and pre-purchase tickets. You were give the option to pre-purchase a boquet of iries to pick up. We told my mom nothing of the day beforehand. Was she surpirsed and delighted. The grounds were beautifully manicured and easy to navigate. The majority of the paths are grassy so unlike the tulip farms you didn't have to worry about getting dirty. Who would have known there were so many different types of irises. All so different and beautiful. There are plenty of picnic tables scatered throughout. I would suggest brining a picnic and hanging out. read more

I pre-purchased 7 irises, and paid $17.50 for shipping. Several months later, I got a notice that my full order would be arriving. Upon opening the box, I was missing an iris and on my packing slip, one iris was indicated "refund." I was charged in full. I waited a couple days to see if I would be refunded, but I was not. I had to reach out to the company to request the refund. I would have liked the company to offer a substitute given they were not able to fill my order. I found the iris I was looking for at Heirloom roses at a over $5 cheaper and with free ship. I was not pleased with customer service response. read more

Very beautiful gardens, with lots of flowers to look at. Definitely worth the drive from Portland. A fair amount of irises available for purchase, but I wish they had more colors on hand. If I want to get the colors I really like, I need to order and pay for shipping. read more

We took a gorgeous serene walk in the Iris garden today with my parents. I took this opportunity to take a bunch of pictures that Do Not do the beauty of the flowers any justice! You must see it for yourself. The clean manicured garden walkways lined with an array of clearly labeled flowers displayed and grouped together with such thought make this garden so inviting and relaxing. You can grab a catalog upon entry and take note of your favorites to purchase at the end. They have a bunch of Adirondack chairs sprinkled throughout the garden so you can just sit and gaze or snap a few photos. There are also plenty of picnic tables to have a snack as you take in all the beautiful flower varieties. We took home a few bunches of the gorgeous Iris variety from the gift shop that mom pre purchased when she brought the tickets ahead of time Online. I absolutely love springtime in Oregon and this is a wonderful reminder of the nature we are surrounded by. If you get the chance to have a relaxing day gallivanting in the garden, I recommend you take time to stop and smell the flowers! read more

No better way to spend a day and welcome Spring than strolling through Schreiner's Iris Garden! My absolute favorite garden! It is evident that this lovely garden is meticulously cared for with love. There are easy grass walking paths with bright colorful benches everywhere inviting you to wander and sit, taking in all of nature's beauty. There are show-stopping and prize winning Iris of every imaginable color! Pale peach, deep orange, midnight black, the palest blue, whisper yellow, royal purple, bright yellow, lavender, white and more. The "beards" come in just as many colors! The iris are nestled amongst other beautiful flowers like the tall lupine, vibrant peonies the size of dinner plates, huge clematis growing on trellises, bright California poppy and so much more. It's truly a slice of paradise. The grounds are well maintained and they transport you to a different place. Old trees stand proud around the perimeter, their huge branches providing glorious shade over the picnic area where there are several clean, white picnic tables, Adirondack chairs and benches. Perfect spot for a picnic, looking over the garden. The day I went was cloudy and misty, but the garden was still spectacular, drops of rain clinging to the iris petals. A group of 12 met there, each bringing items to contribute to lunch. After wandering through the garden, and for me, snapping lots of pictures, we enjoyed a long and leisurely lunch of delicious food and good conversation. The owners came out and joined us as friends of mine know them. They are lovely and truly have a passion for what they do. For those that want to buy bulbs for their own garden, there is an entire area where Iris are displayed under a tent, each marked with their name and year, so you can select bulbs to plant in your garden. Next to this area are cut stems to make bouquets. Stems are a $1 a piece or $8 for a dozen. Get a dozen! Each stem is tall, sturdy, and has five blooms! The bouquet lasts 7-10 days and the colors are amazing. Make sure to visit the gift shop where they sell lots of items for the garden lover, many in an iris palette. There was a green umbrella covered in blue and purple iris that opened up in reverse, so you can shut it without getting rain in the car. It looks like a Van Gogh painting. I bought two! One for me, one for a friend. Across the street are acres and acres of colorful iris that are grown for commercial sale. Check it out just to take in the vision of color in mass! The cost for admission is a mere $5 per car, not per person as some other farms charge, per car. What a bargain! For the price of a cup of coffee you can spend a leisurely day enjoying so much beauty. In May there are several festivals, according to their website, during Mother's Day and Memorial Day weekends. While I enjoyed a mid week visit when it was not crowded, I will probably go back over Memorial Day since there will be local crafters, nestled in the garden, selling their treasures. Schreiner's Iris Garden is the prettiest of all the gardens that I have visited, and I have seen lots! I can not say enough about this place! If you enjoy flowers, if you love gardens, if you enjoy a picnic amongst a gorgeous setting, go to Schreiner's! I'm so grateful that friends invited me to their annual picnic and now it will become a yearly tradition for me. I am already planning on going back again next week with other friends, on a sunny day, so I can take pics of the iris against a bright blue sky. There is a peony farm just 2 miles down the road and we will visit that garden as well. Who knew that just 45 minutes from Portland was a slice of Heaven?! read more

Priced at $5 per person for normal hours. $10 from 7am - 9am. There were so many beautiful iris. Spent about an hour here. Probably could have spent a little bit longer if it weren't the last weekend and some of the flowers weren't already sunk kerplunked. I would come back here again but try to get in before the last weekend. read more

My sister and I went here for the first time today. The gardens are amazing. Bring your camera or fully charged camera phone because you are going to want to take pictures. Here's what they don't tell you: Go into the gift shop/barn first. As you enter there is a table of clipboards. If there any chance you are going to be buying irises today or in the future you are going to want to write down the names of your favorites. You could also take photos of the names of your favorite bulbs with your phone. You will need it later. Second, If you are in a power wheelchair you can move around on the short grass and later a dirt path. However, if you are in a push wheelchair it is very difficult to push you around. I had to get up and push my wheelchair around and then sit down when I got winded. They have plenty of seating but it's all along one pathway and would be better distributed throughout the gardens so you could sit in the shade in different areas. Old people get tired! Third: There is no apparent organizations system in the sales area for finding the potted iris you want to buy. You have to walk up and down every aisle, reading every tag, to find what you are looking for so it is actually easier to just order online. Finally, they have numerous port-a-potties by the entrance and gift shop. They were very clean. I believe that there is a true disabled friendly restroom as well. Totally worth the $6 admission. Wear your sunscreen. I saw an ice cream truck and a latte stand in the parking lot. Very beautiful and relaxing. Not far off Interstate 5. The gift stand sells t-shirts, post cards, puzzles, soap, stickers, cut flowers, potted flowers and more. What's not to love? read more

If you haven't visited this garden, then I really must insist, go! Go in mid-May when the irises are in full bloom. I promise, you will be so pleased that you visited that you might want to personally thank me for my wisdom. The garden is a lovely, easily walkable design. It's grassy so there will be no mucking about in dirt. There are brightly colored benches galore and a few picnic tables sprinkled about. On a nice day, bring a picnic with you or visit the food stand on site. When my mom and I visited, it was a crappy, rainy day. This was actually quite great because the parking lot was nearly empty as was the garden. The raindrops on the flowers just added interest to the photographs. As of today, May 16th 2016, the garden is in full bloom. Rain or shine, get yourself there for a visit ASAP. 2016 - Review # 41 read more

I love walking through the Iris gardens. It's a nice way to spend an hour. Next year we plan to bring a picnic, which I believe is allowed since they have pincic tables. My only suggestion is NOT to wait untill the last few days of the Festival to go, because a good majority of the irises were dead or wilted. Plenty of other types of flowers in bloom though. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go in the spring. Last year we took my mom and my kid for Mother's day. We had fun chasing the kid through the garden and looking at all the pretty Iris, purchasing bulbs,we got cut Iris flowers really cheap, I got a cool Iris necklace at the gift shop,my husband got me a stained glass Iris, and we had a picnic at once of their nice picnic tables. They sell some snacks on site ( we had sausages on buns and chips with espresso, yeah). It was a great outing. It's a fabulous place to take visitors, too. I highly recommend the trek, in the spring. They usually have an Iris festival... that's pretty crowded. But Mother's day early was just right. read more

I drove out there while in Keiser and entered their parking lot. No indication that they have a retail sales area, a public viewing option of products or anything other than an office, warehouses and fields...so I didn't stop...I left. If they want the public to visit, I couldn't tell what is there for the public once off the street entrance. read more

Four years ago I placed orders that totaled over $700 from Schreiner's. Friends gifted me with orders also. After planting, the following year I discovered many blooms of one Iris as opposed to dozens of different blooms. So, instead of having over the 60 different colors I ordered, I had 36 different iris. When I called about this the employee I spoke with worriedly said, "we have high school kids filling our orders" I was then referred to the manager who treated me with hostility as if I were trying to rip her off. She wasn't helpful. She told me to provide her with a list of "what you *say* you didn't receive". I told her I had photos of everything that had bloomed and I would send them. After many conversations that bordering on arguments she said she'd send a refund. Now it's 2021 and I called to place another order. I was told there was a Do Not accept orders on the account and that the employee would call me back. She didn't and so, I called again and spoke with the same manager who, after asking me a series of sarcastic questions, told me to shop elsewhere. In summary, a hostile reaction to their filling mail order mistakes. Their mistakes which were acknowledged by employee number one. read more

Everything was absolutely beautiful! It was only $5 per car to get in and we spent about three hours exploring the grounds. You can walk around the garden and the iris fields! You just can't go wrong. We went on Memorial Day and there was live music, food, and plenty of flowers. We ended up buying some! It was a dozen for $8! They are absolutely heavenly and smell wonderful! I highly recommend visiting to anyone from young to old! read more

Took mom and dad here for Mother's Day and wasn't expecting too much, but was pleasantly surprised with the blooms. Since the gardens just opened a week ago, the iris's were still a little early in blooming. Mom loved it and what a wonderful surprise that Schreiner's Iris Gardens gave free bouquets of iris's to all mothers. They have a little gift shop where you can get some greeting cards and pick out individual iris's to take home. $6.00 per dozen is an excellent price. The staff there is friendly and willing to help identify flowers if you need help and ring up your order when you've made your selection. There was a live band there playing some mellow music and plenty of chairs and benches to rest and soak up the ambiance of the garden and atmosphere. I'm no botanist, but I never knew that there were so many varieties for iris's. Some mad scientist must of had a field day with creating the various types. Parking is easy and organized and is an easy hour drive from Portland. They do have a little food cart, but I didn't try it, because we already had eaten and were going to get dessert afterwards.

Visited in May 2013 while my mother in law was visiting us. Irises are her favorite flower and she was so happy browsing the garden. I had no idea there were so many different colors of Irises and it reminded me of the Canby swan island dahlias festival. The garden was well organized and really lovely to walk through. I can't recommend them enough and I've ordered iris bulbs from them for this summer! We went in Mid May which seems to be a peak time to go. read more

I've lived here for 9 years and not once have been to see this place until recently. It was a little early yet I could tell, but they really did have beautiful gardens. Lovely irises, poppies, peony's, etc....lovely! My mom loves irises and though she lives in New Mexico, she buys irises from here. Even sent me a few as a gift...so I'm a fan!! The only minor complaint I had was the food carts there...nothing but meat and sugar..nothing for a vegetarian....or even healthy!! Yuck! Would be nice to have a healthier food cart there...it is such a lovely place and to be able to eat something healthy there would be awesome. So that was disappointing. I'll go back again though to see the gardens...it is free and a lovely place to check out! read more

We flew from Iowa to visit the Iris display. It was fabulous. Beautiful. We were not disappointed in the least. It gave so many ideas as to what to plant with your Iris's. My Mother who is deceased loved Iris's as a result we are familiar with their care. I actually have a grand daughter named Iris. We were amazed by the displays and acres of Iris's. Such beauty. I felt extremely close to my mother as I wandered around for 5 hours and then placed my order. I wish we had known that we could have brought wine and snacks. That would of been fun. We also bought a dozen Iris's for our Airbnb rental. My daughters and I will never forget this trip....another thing scratched off my bucket list. read more

Schreiners Went Above and Beyond! Thanks to the team there for sending replacement bulbs for FREE when all of my first batch got root rot. They easily could have blamed me for not planting properly or too much water but rather wanted to insure I had a great experience and sent me 18 new bulbs. Great customer service and the replacements have been in for several months and are all doing very well. Paul W read more

I have ordered many Irises over the years from Schreiner's. However, the last two times have been awful. Last year my husband gave me a gift certificate for Christmas. I was excited until I tried to used it and due to a glitch in THEIR system it would missed one of the numbers on my coupon over and over. They even admitted to me that it was on their side that it was their mistake. They did not let me use the coupon and I was not refunded the NSF charges ( We were closing the account and left $20 dollars more than we needed to cover if they used the coupon) I not only got an NSF from my bank but I also got one from Schneiders. Best of all I did not get to use my coupon and they canceled my order. I am out $125 dollars. The only way I found out was through my bank. Due to my favorite Iris garden closing I have returned to Schreiner's. We have moved and I have tried 4 times now to get the address changed on my order. It was able to change it on my account but I received a catalog at my old address. I pulled up my order and the old address is still there. If they wil get it fixed I will remove this because they do have a great product. read more

Looking for irises. The Iris garden is a bit far from Portland, but if you are an Iris lover, or even a flower lover, this is a must see location.

If you go on a sunny day, bring a picnic, and spend some time there. read more

Horrible, Terrible COLD heated Customer service from Leslie! I am planting my very 1st Iris garden in honor of my loved one who is terminal with a brain tumor. I gently explained the purpose of my garden and asked for directions, this is my 1st time. Leslie was very harsh and makes an ice berg feel warm. There was absolutely no need for this, I did not whine and I didn't even cry. There is a lot of Customer Service in my job and there is simply no excuse for this rudeness. I do NOT understand why I received this very inappropriate response. Leslie has completely RUINED my experience with Schreiner's. I suggest going elsewhere. read more
