APRIL 18TH, 2021  -  WE'RE HAVING A MEETING !
APRIL 24TH, 2021 - WE'RE HAVING A DAYLILY SALE!
FROM OUR CLUB PRESIDENT, DAVID ARTHUR

We are ready for our first meeting in what seems like forever.  Our usual place is still not open, but we have secured a large conference room at CW Matthews (Thanks Luke!). This will provide space for us to social distance. This location is off old 41 and Bells Ferry Road.  It is in the new building on the right of the property.  If you are bringing food, please bring individually wrapped items.

Hopefully almost everyone will have received the vaccine by then, however, at this time I am suggesting we all wear masks.

We will have our educational time and then have a panel discussion where you can ask any questions you have about gardening and daylilies.  The rest of the time will be just social time.  I am sure we all have plenty to talk about.

We are also having a daylily sale on the following Saturday April 24 in the parking lot of First United Methodist Church.  This is the time we usually have a sale at the Jonquil Festival, however, there is no festival this year.  We will have a daylily dig at the Kennesaw Mountain Daylily Gardens on Thursday April 22. More on this at the meeting.

Hope to see everyone at the April meeting.

Fall 2018 - Expansion along the fence !?!  Click the ORANGE BUTTON ABOVE to see 2018 highlights.
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.  

​Please enjoy the website, drop in on a meeting or event.  We promise that you'll be welcomed and will find plenty of information and fun!
