Four large tour gardens and five lovely open gardens await you.
Three tour gardens and all of the open gardens belong to hybridizers, so in
addition to seeing the latest and greatest well-known daylilies, you will meet several
“new to you” daylily introductions and seedlings from our very own metro-area
hybridizers. To supplement all the beautiful daylilies in the four tour
gardens, NDS gave each tour garden funds to purchase a collection of daylily
club plants from the hybridizer of their choice (to be auctioned off during a
future NDS meeting).
