Garden Tours
August and September are show and garden tour time for dahlia growers. Because of the Covid 19 Pandemic we did not hold these in 2020. Here are the 2019 pictures in Ginger and Jeff’s garden. It was beautiful, and Mary presented Bill with his certificate for becoming a candidate judge. RDS members visited our dahlias at the Webster Arboretum, then went to Liz and Tom’s garden, shown below.

Monroe County Fair 2018
On Friday, August 3 - A dozen dahlia enthusiasts gathered at the new site for the Monroe County Fair. We put together a small show, and judged our own entries. This was a good warm-up for larger shows to come this summer. Judges brushed up on their skills and we enjoyed each other’s company as well as the flowers.
Our RDS judges narrowed the "Best Dahlia" down to five and the general flower chair picked two winners instead of one. Tom had "Javier" and Al had "Fancy Pants". Carol was another big winner, but hers was not picked this time. Below are a couple of pictures from the fair.
