Sandra’s Historic Iris Garden Journey | Winnipeg News

Sandra Gessner Eggertson turned a bold urban move into a botanical triumph, relocating her entire prize-winning iris and lily collection—digging, dividing, and winter-storing hundreds of plants over three months. Two years later, her front yard blooms like a living museum, officially recognized as a Historic Iris Preservation Society display garden, featuring rare 19th-century varieties and French nursery gems. With no duplicates, a strict curation policy, and a quirky fall-fertilizing ritual, she’s cultivated a vibrant, ever-changing garden that’s both a personal masterpiece and an open invitation for visitors to marvel at her decades-long dedication to horticultural art.
