***Please Note***
There have been changes to membership with the Colorado Dahlia Society and the American Dahlia Society. In the past, your $40 dues covered your CDS and ADS memberships. The ADS has changed this system and now our dues are separate. Membership dues to the Colorado Dahlia Society are now $15 (single or household). If you have an additional family member that you would like to add to your membership, please include their name and email address in the form under “Pay with Credit Card”. If you aren’t adding a family member, you can enter “none” in that field. Membership in the Colorado Dahlia Society (CDS) runs from January 1st through December 31st.
All members receive a copy of the ADS Classification and Handbook of Dahlias as well as 3 issues of the Bulletin of the American Dahlia Society annually. Family membership provides one additional copy of the Classification and Handbook of Dahlias.

Dues cover full membership in, and the bulletins of, the American Dahlia Society (ADS), as well as copies of the Classification and Handbook of Dahlias. The Handbook of Dahlias is an invaluable source of information on about 2000 of the most grown dahlia varieties in North America.
CDS members also receive:

CDS members are eligible to participate in our annual tuber roundup and free tuber exchange. The Colorado Dahlia Society meets monthly from February thru October. All members are encouraged to attend and share in some of the best potluck luncheons in Northern Colorado.
And, yes there is still such a thing as a free lunch! All first time meeting attendees are invited to join us in enjoying a pre-meeting potluck luncheon. Just bring your own table service and eat hearty.
The CDS offers classes and discussions on Dahlia growing and showing as part of our monthly meetings. Mentoring is also available to answer your questions and help you grow the best Dahlias possible!
