About the Nursery

Specialty Japanese Iris Nursery. Top products: Japanese Iris (Iris ensata), Iris laevigata, Pseudata hybrids. Mt. Pleasant Iris Farm, located in Washougal, Washington, is a specialty horticultural nursery and National Display Garden dedicated to the cultivation, breeding, and hybridization of Iris ensata, commonly known as the Japanese iris. Founded and operated by Chad Harris and Dale Grams, the farm leverages over four decades of expertise in iris hybridization. The business specializes in water-tolerant iris species, including Iris laevigata and the unique 'Pseudata' species-cross hybrids, which are suitable for pond edges, rain gardens, and container cultivation. While the farm has transitioned away from a high-volume shipping model to focus on field maintenance and garden development, it remains a destination for plant enthusiasts. The site functions as both a working nursery—where plants are dug directly from the garden for local customers—and an educational display garden open to the public during the bloom season from May through July. The owners maintain deep ties to the horticultural community through the American Iris Society.

Beautiful gardens, planting fields. Chad was fantastic to work with. Took time to teach us and to dig up some irises for our purchase. Would highly recommend visiting. Thanks Chad.

What a wonderful place to visit, the owners were incredibly kind and generous with their time, they answered all our questions and allowed us to explore their beautiful gardens. We learned so much. Highly recommend.

The gardens are beautiful and well-tended. On the "flip side", this is definitely not a tourist attraction. It is marked only by a tiny sign that is easily missed from the highway. While open to the public, it is clear that few visitors are expected. The parking area (near the barn) holds three cars, at most. One very clean porta-potty is serviced weekly. We'd planned to purchase at least one iris, but didn't. We were reluctant to knock on the door of an obviously private residence, and there was no sign of human activity on the property. We drove from the Seattle area, based on a Seattle Times story. The gardens didn't justify the trip. It appears that this is a hobby-turned-sideline business.

We were there on opening day. A beautiful garden with beautiful Iris beds. We were a little early for all the blooms but took some great photos of the ones already in their glory. Thank you Chad.. it was wonderful to meet you. Good luck with your venture.
