Hamilton and District Chrysanthemum and Dahlia Society holds several meetings throughout the year normally beginning in March. Our meetings for 2008 will be held at the Dundas Lions Memorial Community Center, 10 Market St. S., Dundas, ON    L9H 5G4. See map at the following MapQuest location.

The April 14, 2008 meeting, is our annual Tuber Sale and Auction. Visitors, members and friends can purchase dahlia tubers, at less than retail cost, during the auction, where there are prize-winning stock and some one-of-a-kind varieties.

Meeting dates for 2008 are: March 10, April 14 (tuber sale), May 12 and June 9. The meetings are all being held on Monday evenings and start at 7 p.m.

Anyone is welcome to attend our meetings and there is no admission to hear various speakers and learn about the culture of chrysanthemums and dahlias. We do not hold meetings during the months of July, August, September, November, December, January or February. The Society members like to plan an awards dinner in November.

We will participate in the R.B.G. Auxiliary Sale at the R.B.G. Arboretum on May 1^st. and May 3^rd. 2008 . You may purchase dahlia tubers and cuttings of various varieties at the sale. Of course there is a limited number of stock available, so people should come early for the best selection.

Our annual show of Chrysanthemum and Dahlia blooms will be held at the Dundas Lions Memorial Community Center. Our show dates are: Saturday, September 6^th. and Sunday, September 7^th., 2008.

Visitors are more than welcome to come see the show. The show opens to the public from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Dundas Lions Memorial Community Center, 10 Market St. S., Dundas, ON    L9H 5G4. We will have an auction of show blooms at 3 p.m. on Sunday, so visitors can take some beautiful bouquets home to that special person.

The bloom of the year for 2008 is any waterlily dahlia. You can view the show winners for 2007 at this link. This is a PDF file and it will open in a separate window.
