Presby Memorial Iris Gardens, Iris botanical garden in Montclair, New Jersey, US.

Located at 474 Upper Mountain Avenue, the 6.5-acre garden displays over 14,000 iris plants representing 3,000 different varieties across its grounds.

The garden, established in 1927, honors Frank Presby, a founding member of the American Iris Society who intended to donate his iris collection to Mountainside Park.

The Victorian Walther House adjacent to the gardens functions as a museum, educational center, and headquarters for the Citizens Committee managing the site.

The garden opens during the blooming season from May 14 to June 4, with a suggested entrance donation of 10 dollars per visitor.

The gardens maintain the largest non-commercial iris collection worldwide, producing more than 100,000 blooms during a single flowering season.
