The Lane County Dahlia Society will hold its October meeting Thursday, October 6th at 7:30 PM at the Celeste Campbell Center, 155 High Street, Eugene. October's meeting topic will concern "how to put your dahlia garden to bed for the season". LCDS Member Eugene K. will describe what processes he has successfully used over the years. Eugene will then discuss how he collects dahlia seed. This is a fun way to grow new dahlias and maybe the next big winner will come from your garden! We will also be hosting our last dahlia bloom "Show & Tell". With October's cooler weather, our dahlia plants have perked up and the bloom colors are deep and lovely. Please think about bringing some blooms to share. There will be door prizes and free refreshments! The meeting is free and open to the public. Mask wearing will continue to be optional. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a long-time L.C.D.S. member, we hope that you will join us!

October Meeting

The October meeting of the Lane County Dahlia Society will be held on Thursday, October 3rd., at 7:30 PM at the Celeste Campbell Center, 155 High Street, Eugene. Please join us as we celebrate our favorite flower as the growing season nears its end. This month's program will feature LCDS member Eugene Kenyon, owner of River's Dahlias. Eugene will talk about the end of the dahlia season and how he prepares his dahlias for the first frost. He will also touch on dahlia seed collecting. Learn how you can successfully save seed from your plants. We are also encouraging all LCDS members and guests to bring dahlia blooms from your gardens. This will be a great opportunity to share a bit of this year's dahlia garden with the group and also begin formulating ideas for next year's garden too. There will be free refreshments and door prizes. As always, the meeting is free and open to the public. We hope to see you there!
