About The Long Island Dahlia Society
The Long Island Dahlia Society is a non-profit, volunteer organization formed to stimulate interest in and promote the culture of dahlias and to conduct public exhibitions of dahlias on Long Island. In addition to presenting dahlia shows and educational programs for the public, Society members plant and maintain The William Wolkoff Dahlia Garden, located within the Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park.
There are over 1000 dahlia plants in the Wolkoff Garden with hundreds of different dahlia varieties representing every known dahlia form from tiny blooms to "dinner plate" dahlias fifteen inches in diameter, all in a rainbow of colors and shades from white to darkest purple. Just as summer gardens are beginning to fade on Long Island, Dahlias, the kings and queens of the fall garden, take center stage for their glorious fall flower show, blooming from August until first frost.
