Sunday 23 February 2025 is our Annual General Meeting and Conference afternoon.
Doors open at 1pm where there will be an opportunity to purchase dahlia tubers kindly donated by local members as well as purchase some raffle tickets to help support this free event.
Everyone welcome both members and non members. We start the afternoon at 1.30pm with the official society business which usually lasts 30 minutes. We then kick off the conference part of the afternoon.
Update: 20 February 20205: We have had to make a change to the previously advertised line up due to circumstances that were beyond our control.

Award-winning horticulturist John Lanyon has spent over 42 years in professional horticulture and 27 years as Head Gardener with the National Trust. John cared for Cornish gardens Trelissick, Glendurgan, Trerice and Bosloe. The RHS awarded John the prestigious Loder Rhododendron Cup and Associate of Honour, to recognise his outstanding contribution to the practice and promotion of horticulture and gardening.

Growing Dahlias
After some refreshments and the raffle draw we continue our series on Growing Dahlias by talking about starting your tubers into growth, splitting tubers and also thinking about sowing dahlia seeds. There will be lots of experts in growing and breeding dahlias on hand to obtain advice from and answers to your questions.
Plus of course time for chatting about dahlias. If you have any dahlia tubers that you can donate to our tuber sale please bring them along and we look forward to seeing you all soon.
