RE: AIS Operations Manual

[RON AND SUSAN COSNER <keighley15@msn.com>]

I was able to access the ops manual description through the link. I think Bob
would be a good choice. The voting if I remember correctly is taken after 7
days of open to discussion and then the voting is allowed for 7 days.
Thank you and happy gardening
Ron Cosner

> The National Collections, Display and Test Gardens Committee
> Purpose: To coordinate efforts between the greater horticultural world and
> the various units of the American Iris Society with respect to National
> Collections, Display and test gardens, and to facilitate their creation,
> administration, and communication.
> Definitions and Goals:
> 1. National Collection: A garden dedicated to the preservation of a
> defined, cohesive group of Irises, species and cultivars. It may start as a
> prototype with the ultimate goal of being part of the American Public
> Gardens system of National Collections.
> 2. Display Garden: Gardens that simply display the glories of the iris.
>
> 1. Public: Gardens at botanical gardens, and other venues open to the
> public.
> 2. Private: Usually home gardens open for display during selected bloom
> periods, visitors should check to see if a garden will be open on a
> specific day and time.
> 3. Test Gardens; Gardens which may or may not be display gardens or
> national collections but have agreed to take measurements and record
> observations of plant growth in the garden.
> Goals for Action:
> 1. To create a national registry of each type of garden with a short
> description
> 2. To suggest standards for the gardens;
> 1. National Collection: To explain the qualifications needed to become
> and official APGA National Collection and to aid in that process.
> 2. Display gardens; To give clear notice to visitors the constraints of
> the garden. Example; Is it wholly or partly wheelchair accessible. To
> create a sign designating it as an official AIS Display garden.
> 3. Test Gardens: to formulate consistent ways of taking measurements,
> and recording them in a national data base.
