Under 19? You are invited to join the American
Iris Society
The American Iris Society, a non-profit horticultural organization,
devoted to the culture and improvement of the iris, also offers special
memberships to young people under 19 years of age.
A Youth Member is entitled to all the privileges and pleasures of adult
members including a quarterly Bulletin, correspondence groups and pen
pals, and the garden tours, meetings, shows and related activities held
on a local, regional and national basis.
Special activities help young members enjoy learning about iris culture.
In some areas, Youth Members have their own meetings devoted to special
themes, hybridizing lessons, slide programs, gardening information and
iris art projects, with fun as a bonus. Adult members are often glad to
help the youth iris enthusiasts with technical problems and in obtaining
specialized information.
Are you interested in science, photography, history, winning show
ribbons or adding dynamic beauty to your garden? Discover the world of
iris!!! Budget minded memberships for youths are available at $5.00 if a
member of your immediate family already belongs to the AIS or $9.00 (to
include your own copy of publications) if you are the first in your
family to join the AIS.
Mail membership dues, along with your date of birth, to the AIS
Membership Secretary.
All membership fees are payable in U.S. funds. Rates shown above are the new rates that are in effect for any memberships received from April 1, 2005.
AIS Sections and AIS Cooperating Societies + Rates
AIS Sections and AIS Cooperating Societies are special interest groups that deal with information on specific classifications of iris. Benefits include informative newsletters with a focus on specific types of irises. Many of these groups also hold events such as mini-conventions on an annual or semi-annual basis. Membership in these groups is in addition to AIS membership.
Although we make every effort to make sure these membership rates are accurate, these are provided as a guide, please check directly with the specific society for the most up to date and complete current rate structure.
