About the Georgia Dahlia Society

Celebrating the Beauty and Joy of Dahlias Across Georgia 

Whether you are planting your first dahlia tuber, expanding your garden, or growing award-winning blooms for exhibition, the Dahlia Society of Georgia welcomes gardeners of all experience levels.

Our members share a passion for one of the world's most spectacular flowers and enjoy learning, growing, and connecting with fellow dahlia enthusiasts.

As an affiliated society of the American Dahlia Society, we support education, conservation, exhibition, and the advancement of dahlia culture through local meetings, educational programs, garden tours, tuber sales, and community outreach.
