Argyle Acres specializes in growing and selling historic and modern bearded irises. Irises are easy to grow hardy perennials, requiring little attention.

Welcome to Willow Creek Farm & Gardens, the home of Argyle Acres. We are located in Central Wisconsin on 15 acres of land, 7 miles east of Wautoma on State Road 21. Willow Creek is owned by Larry & Heidi Buntrock and Holly Putskey. Our mission and commitment is to provide quality products and services at a fair and reasonable price.

We offer a wide variety of products, which include Argyle Acres Irises, along with our daylilies and perennials that are grown in our fields. In 2012 we acquired Argyle Acres, a leading grower of irises in the United States, and have relocated the irises to our farm in Central Wisconsin. We also have a large assortment of trees, shrubs and bushes, along with fall ornamentals, fresh evergreen arrangements and holiday decorations.

In Spring we offer fresh asparagus that is grown on our farm. We also grow fresh flowers on our farm, and sell bouquets/arrangements in season for special occasion such as weddings, anniversaries, showers, parties and birthdays.

Please take the time to browse our website. We look forward to seeing you soon at our farm, or through our online store. Or give us a call, we would love to speak with you.
