Rhea-Craig Chapter Iris Project

The DAR strongly believes in fostering a strong bond with the local the community.   Members or the Rhea-Craig Chapter spent an afternoon digging and packaging iris rhizomes to share with visitors at the Annual Muscadine Festival in Downtown Sweetwater, TN. 

In mid-October 2013 Carrie Ann Bright, Susan Pluff and Caren Lorelle dug, separated and bagged several hundred iris rhizomes to be handed out to fair-goers.  The iris  were very popular and soon the 100 bags of rhizomes were on their way to be re-planted in gardens throughout the area, enhancing the natural beauty around us.
