• Free Dahlia tubers!

CDS members are eligible to participate in our annual tuber roundup and free tuber exchange. The Colorado Dahlia Society meets monthly usually on the 2nd Sunday of most months 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!
