In 1963, clubs in Reno, Fallon, Ely, Caliente, Pioche and Las Vegas joined National Garden Clubs Inc., and Domz served as the Nevada Garden Clubs' first president.Clubs continue to meet and add new members despite challenges."When the city renovated Lorenzi Park, they had us shut out for over two years, and we are trying to get the public back," said Las Vegas Iris Society president Aleta MacFarlane."Boy, did that affect us big time," Baltz said.Even though her group won't have flowers in bloom at the fall show, MacFarlane said they plan to sell plants. Members stay active throughout the fall and winter. In fact, the dormant season is in some ways just as much fun. That's when it's safe to dig up and separate the rhizomes and share or swap plants.During the Las Vegas Iris Society's October meeting, members Michael and Christine Meagher brought in a tangle of mystery iris plants taken from an overgrown California garden, ready to share.Michael Meagher showed them how to separate and trim the plants to prepare them for planting, spring bloom, and eventually, identification.The club is big on identification and catalogs the varieties in each member's garden.When spring heats up, and the iris bloom, members get the payoff for the fall planting."April is our busy, busy month," said member Darlene Waite. "That's when we do our yard tours and our judging and our flower show."Information on all the groups is available at nevadagardenclubs.org.— Contact View contributing reporter Ginger Meurer at gmeurer@viewnews.com.
