President’s Message Want to take your garden to the next level? Come on down to the Wolkoff garden on Saturday mornings; our volunteers are learning from the masters, from planting to disbudding, this is a great opportunity to get a hands on education. Come see the garden too, it looks terrific. - Joe Laundrie, President
Fundraising Our major sales are over for the season. Thanks to an abundance of choice, vibrant plants and tubers made available by Joe and the garden volunteers and to our dedicated sales force headed by Kelly, we are almost sold out! A very special thanks for those who went for the trifecta, potting AND schlepping AND selling! We are continuing to collect vases of all sizes as well as cups and mugs for our fall sales.
Parking Permits Needed to Park at the Wolkoff Garden Parking permits are now required for all LIDS volunteers parking at the dahlia garden. Volunteers who have not received a permit should ask for one at the dahlia garden and display it each time you park there.

LIDS Dahlia Shows Dahlia growers, whether expert or novice come from all points of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and even Rhode Island to display their gardening achievements, hoping to reach the prestigious Court of Honor. Because the cooler weather brings out their vibrant colors, these regional shows are held in September and October when Dahlias are at their peak. The shows are held in the lower level of the Carriage House at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in August and October of this year. See the calendar for dates.
