The American Iris Society (AIS) is a nonprofit institution incorporated February 2, 1927, for the sole purpose of promoting the culture and improvement of the Iris. AIS is divided into geographic Regions. Region 21 covers Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, NWT, Nunavut, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Region 21 was formed in 1950 and portions of Canada were added later. Before becoming Region 21, these States were part of Region 18 and before that, Region 9.
There are currently seven Region 21 affiliate clubs:
- GREATER OMAHA IRIS SOCIETY – and on Facebook
- Heart of Iowa Iris Growers
- LINCOLN IRIS SOCIETY (Facebook)
- MONUMENT VALLEY IRIS SOCIETY (Facebook)
- SIOUX EMPIRE IRIS SOCIETY (Facebook)
- SIOUXLAND IRIS SOCIETY
- CAN-WEST IRIS SOCIETY
All of these Clubs, Regions, and AIS love to share their enthusiasm for irises. Let us know how we can help you.
If you are interested in forming an Iris Club in your region, please let us know. We would be glad to assist in any way we can.
