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.
