About Jill Bonino

Joined the San Fernando Valley Iris Society in 1996 after helping weed the iris garden at
 
Descanso Gardens and met several SFVIS members who were tending the Region Trek
 
irises grown at Descanso for the 1997 Garden Trek. 

Jill has been SFVIS Secretary, Vice President, Editor for the Club and Awards and Artistic

Chair for the Show. 

Became AIS Recording Secretary in 2001 and was elected Secretary in 2003, Treasurer

in 2006, 2nd Vice President in 2007, and 1st Vice President in 2010. Currently, also

serves as Region 15 Treasurer. 

Approved as an AIS Judge in 2007. 

Home garden for Jill has evolved into a collection of bearded and beardless iris

comprising TBs, medians, PCI, spuria, Louisiana, and two very small siberian plants.

Jill says, "weeds are the bane of my existence." 

An avid photographer, Jill has been giving iris slide programs to iris clubs and local

garden clubs since 1998. 

About the presentation

The main focus of this month's slide show presentation will be about the American

Iris Society's 2010 National Convention in Madison, Wisconsin (the primary source

of new iris pictures and garden landscaping for 2010), and the AIS's Region 15 Garden

Trek at Tucson, Arizona along with a few pictures of 2010 Sutton's introductions and

the medians at Gerry and Michelle Snyder's garden in Sedona, Arizona. SFVIS members

will see the newest irises before the Auction in September 2010.

This will be a wonderful presentation of many new irises introduced this year.

As usual, the plant table with lots iris rhizomes available for purchase, starts at 7:00 p.m.
