Welcome!

We are the Badger State Dahlia Society, based in Madison, Wisconsin. Our club is a local branch of the American Dahlia Society, and our location makes us part of the Midwest Dahlia Conference.

Since our first annual show in 1946, our club members have been passionate about bringing together both novice and experienced growers to promote the growing and exhibition of this fun, versatile flower. Though the names and faces have changed a lot over the years, we are still going strong today, in 2023!

We have two popular annual events: our May tuber and plant sales and our August dahlia show at the Goodman Community Center in Madison.

This website provides information about BSDS membership, meetings, events and shows. It also features photos of dahlias and our club events, as well as links to learn about dahlia cultivation.

If you’d like to learn more about dahlias, we welcome you to join us at any of our meetings. We look forward to meeting you!
