On September 24 the NMDS had our 2023 Dahlia Festival “Bursting with Color” at the Albuquerque Garden Center. We had over 235 dahlia entries and 25 floral design entries. It was a colorful sight!
Founder, and NMDS President, Jim Lohkamp, was honored for 16 years of service. He was given a gift certificate and a laminated poster showing him helping a dahlia grower with her dahlias.

Don’t miss the chance to show off your lovely dahlia blooms. We will be meeting at the Garden center opening at 7am. Entries close at 10 Am. We will have entry cards and there are always dahlia club members there to assist you with your entries.
Designers ! Dahlia club members will be bringing extra dahlias for you to use in your designs. You must bring a container and other plant material to compliment the dahlias. We have added a NOVICE class in design for those who have never won a 1st place in the design category. So this is an excellent opportunity for those of you new to design.
This is a fun relaxed show. So don’t be shy.
We welcome Garden Club members, Master Gardeners and the public to our show
