   The Canadian Chrysanthemum
and Dahlia Society

So glad you could visit our site!

Thank you for visiting our site. We are a small group of folks who have an interest in growing, and in some cases, showing dahlias and chrysanthemums.  For over 50 years, our members have been sharing stock and information on how best to grow these blooms with whoever has an interest.

our 2023 public appearances

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, no more are scheduled at this time..but we remain both hopeful and with a growing impatience...

our General meetings will be electronic until further notice

 

We welcome you to our group

If Chrysanthemums or Dahlias have caught your attention (or if you already grow them), why not consider joining our society?  Our membership covers several provinces, even though our main member base is from the area in Ontario which stretches from Hamilton, to Aurora, to Keswick, to Cobourg.  We plan about 6 meetings per year, holding most in the Toronto Botanical Gardens site.  While not mandatory, we do encourage members who are close enough to the Exhibitions to show their best blooms, and/or participate in those shows.  Our annual show is held in Markham.  We also encourage you to visit the Hamilton Mum Show in the Gage Park Greenhouses in that city, in late October and early November.  Membership in our society also brings our newsletter Cuttings, which is full of timely advice on growing and showing, plus other newsworthy items

 For speaking engagements in the toronto area

We have people who are able to make quality presentations on chrysanthemums, dahlias, or both.  While most members grow one or the other, some have tried both.  Naturally, that means we are still learning our craft as well.  Most areas we have served thus far are somewhat close to Toronto, so travel costs can be somewhat mitigated.  Contact us for speaker fees, availability, and for proposed dates.  For e-mail info, click the 'About Us' tab.
