Iris


Good friends of ours, Nancy and Marvin Johnson, gave us a gift the last time they were at Holden Village. They had lived in our apartment the year before we moved up. They have moved home to Minneapolis and know how important it is to take a piece of Holden home to remember the experience.

Marvin made this beautiful iris for us to remember the gardens at Holden.

Holden gardens quickly rise up out of the snow and make up for the late start. Daffodills come first and then the Iris. Next the Poppies will bloom.
