Questions and Answers
What makes your irises suitable for Bonita's climate?
We specialize in hybridizing and selecting iris varieties specifically for Southern California's conditions. Unlike generic stock, our tall bearded, pond, and spuria irises are chosen and cultivated for their ability to handle our local heat and soil, reducing plant stress and ensuring a more resilient, beautiful garden for Bonita residents.
Can you help with general lawn and landscape problems, like bare patches?
Absolutely. Our full-service landscaping includes diagnosing and correcting common local issues like bare lawn patches. We assess soil health, irrigation efficiency, and grass type to provide targeted lawn care, sprinkler adjustments, and replanting solutions that address the root cause, not just the symptom.
When is the best time to visit the garden and do you offer landscaping consultations?
The gardens are in peak bloom during April, and visits are available by appointment for the best experience. Yes, we offer landscaping consultations year-round. We can design a custom plan that incorporates our specialty—irises—into your overall landscape, including maintenance, pruning, and sprinkler system installation for a cohesive and manageable garden.
Local Business Description
At Iris Howse and Gardens in Bonita, our story is rooted in a lifelong passion for plants. Owner Ted Howse, originally from Northern California, found his calling with irises. After moving south and completing a horticulture program at Southwestern College, he established a nursery dedicated to these stunning flowers, specializing in varieties that thrive in Southern California's unique climate. Ted, his wife Rose, and their family are active members of the local community through Calvary Chapel San Diego. This is more than a business—it's a working garden where Ted can often be found from sunrise to sunset. We grow and sell over 1,000 varieties of tall bearded irises, along with pond and spuria irises, making us a unique destination for gardeners. Our expertise extends beyond the nursery to full landscaping services, including maintenance, lawn care, pruning, and sprinkler installation, with a special focus on designing beautiful, iris-centric landscapes for Bonita homes.
