The annual Holiday Party was in danger of being called off due to 10" of snow from the previous two days and freezing night time temps.  Nearly everyone had experienced power outages, some for as much as 48 hours - yes, 48 hours!  But the brave souls on the left had cabin fever and travelled from as far away as Douglasville and Whitesburg to attend.  (Word is that they all got home safely.  Whew!)
                                   A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL ! 
Since it's inception in 2004, the Cobb County Daylily Society (CCDS) has grown in opportunities for our members and the general public to learn more about daylilies.  We achieved 501(c)3 non-profit status in 2014 and we're very proud to have co-hosted the 2015 AHS National Convention!  In the spring of 2017, we began a small garden dedicated to daylilies at Smith-Gilbert Gardens and in the fall of 2017 CCDS was asked to expand it.  Every year, CCDS offers
  • Six scheduled Sunday afternoon general meetings featuring guest speakers, daylily auctions, pizza parties, etc.
  • An annual Daylily Show and Sale each year in early June which is AHS accredited
  • An annual picnic, auction and sale each Fall where members can redeem ARMS points earned by volunteering
  • An annual Christmas Party​
  • Annual daylily grooming and design clinics prior to the Daylily Show taught by award winners
  • Opportunities to collaborate with other local, regional and national daylily societies
  • Bus trips to visit other gardens
  • Opportunities to get involved with some very nice gardeners who love to laugh!
​​Additionally, CCDS in early June 2011 hosted a three day regional meeting of more than 200 attendees at the Marietta Conference Center.  The meeting featured a tour of four of CCDS's AHS accredited gardens and an afternoon of 20 workshops.  This was a stepping stone for CCDS and DSGA to co-host about 600 daylily enthusiasts the June 2015 AHS National Convention, an honor which was not taken lightly.
