Throughout its history, the GPDS has been the "home" of several extremely dedicated and knowledgeable dahlia growers. The membership size, though constant in the 25-40 range over the years, has been active and successful, both individually and as a society.
An historical highlight was the hosting of the national show during the nation's bicentennial celebration in 1976. Hopes are alive to host the national show again in the not-too-distant future.
Our society's annual show is held each September at where we believe is the most spectacular of show venues - Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA.
As the GPDS enters the new century, we wish all a productive and satisfying relationship with the "flower of flowers".
