Looking for a place to kick back and relax in the Hondo/Ruidoso New Mexico area? Well, look no further, you've found that spot at the Hondo Iris Farm and Gallery. During the month of May you will be surrounded by hundreds of Iris in varies stages of development and they are also available for purchase to remember your visit. Alice Warder Seely and David Hall have lovingly designed the gardens and restored an old shepherd's cottage to house Alice's paintings, jewelry and works of art, along with colorful women's clothing, gifts and home decor from around the world. The garden is a wonderful place to have a picnic at one of the tables that are located thru out the garden, covered patio or in the wooded area that over looks a meadow. Don't forget to take time to watch the many hummingbirds and butterflies that also visit the gardens. A crystal clear creek also adds to the tranquil garden setting. So pack a picnic, grab your camera and head out to the Hondo Iris Farm and Gallery for a relaxing day and to enjoy the beauty of the Hondo Valley.
