Largest Garden of Iris in Switzerland: Château de Vullierens

The collection was created over 60 years ago by Doreen Bovet.
Like many Americans, Doreen loved iris. In autumn 1950, she ordered five new varieties from Schreiner, a renowned Swiss grower based in the United States, and had them planted in the Château’s vegetable garden. When the gardens were opened to the public in 1955, visitors were amazed to see so many different iris together. As the years have passed, their number has grown. Today, over four hundred varieties of iris and 13,500 daylilies extend for more than two hectares.
