Newsletters and Resources
The Region 20 newsletter is published in the spring and fall and features articles about irises and iris activities of particular interest to Colorado gardeners. Please check out the Spring 2017 newsletter for the latest information. Some of the past issues are available here in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. Click on the links to download them. We hope they will encourage you to join the American Iris Society (AIS) and to participate in our many activities. Membership gives you our local newsletter and the larger, national AIS Bulletin that is published quarterly.
The Fall 2007 issue of the Newsletter is our first online edition to be published exclusively in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) format. If your browser does not support reading PDF files, you can save the file to your computer's disk and open it with the freely available Acrobat Reader program which can be downloaded from the Adobe website
