Iris Garden

We paid our second visit of the year to the Iris Garden at Marnes, nestled under the Sierra Bernia Mtns. near Benissa, and this time the flowers were out in full bloom. The colours were stunning and the scents from both the irises and roses were wonderful.

The garden was created by an English couple as a hobby and is now a business that involves creating new hybrids and selling irises throughout the world. As Christine Lomer says, “Marnes is our little bit of paradise on earth and we invite you to come and enjoy the panorama of the mountain landscape, the peaceful gardens and the iris blooming season.”
