About The Long Island Dahlia Society
- LIDS is an all volunteer organization.
- Dahlias bloom from June to frost, getting richer in colors as the fall approaches.
- There are over 1000 dahlia plants in the garden, with hundreds of different dahlia varieties.
- See all a variety of dahlia forms from tiny blooms to "dinner plate” dahlias over fifteen inches in diameter.
- LIDS hosts one “Dahlia Show” each year in September. East coast growers compete for the top prizes in dahlias.
- A “Dahlia Photo Competition” is held during the show, open to beginners, advanced, and professional photographers.
- These shows are free to the public with admittance to the Arboretum.
- Hands-On learning all about Dahlias is ongoing weekly on Saturday mornings at the Wolkoff Dahlia Garden throughout the year, where volunteers (LIDS Members) maintain the gorgeous Dahlia garden.
- Want to learn about dahlias? Join Us weekly on Wednesdays & Saturdays and visit our Show!
