4th Annual Dahlia Show
Whether you’re a seasoned dahlia grower, a weekend gardener, or someone who simply appreciates beautiful flowers, the 4th Annual Southwest Idaho Dahlia Show promises to inspire.
Hosted by the Southwest Idaho Dahlia Society, the free event takes place Saturday, September 26, at Jack’s Urban Meeting image.pngPlace (JUMP) in downtown Boise. Admission is free, and everyone is invited to experience one of the region’s largest displays of spectacular dahlias.
Now in its fourth year, the show continues to grow as more Idaho gardeners discover the remarkable diversity of dahlias. From tiny pom pons to dinner-plate blooms measuring nearly 10 inches across, visitors will see hundreds of entries in every imaginable color, size and form.
“We’re seeing more and more serious and casual gardeners fall in love with dahlias,” said organizers. “Many of these growers are looking for new ideas, learning from one another, and challenging themselves by exhibiting their best blooms. Whether you’re growing your first dahlia or your hundredth, the show is a celebration of gardening and community.”
The show is open to everyone — flower growers, flower admirers, photographers, families and anyone curious about these extraordinary blooms. Visitors will have the opportunity to view award-winning exhibits, visit with experienced growers, gather gardening tips, and learn more about growing dahlias successfully in Idaho.
We’re thrilled to welcome back Art Weurth, Senior Judge and Officer of the Federation of Northwest Dahlia Growers, whose continued support of our show means so much. We’re also delighted that River’s Dahlias will be joining us. Eugene Kenyon, Senior Judge, and Rosie Cooper-Vert, Candidate Judge, are looking forward to sharing their expertise during our educational session. Whether you’re interested in exhibiting dahlias or learning more about flower farming, you’ll gain valuable insights from these talented growers.
One of the most popular features of the show is Bouquets for the Idaho Foodbank, where local growers donate beautiful floral arrangements that attendees can purchase while supporting a great cause.
Visitors can purchase:
Garden Vase with Dahlias (Class 267) – Beautiful home-display arrangements featuring seven or more dahlias, complemented by other flowers and greenery, with dahlias taking center stage. These unique arrangements sell for $30 each.
Dahlia Market Bunches (Class 269) – Fresh-cut bouquets featuring at least six dahlias, ready to take home or give as a gift. Each bouquet sells for $25.
Every bouquet purchased helps support The Idaho Foodbank, allowing visitors to take home locally grown flowers while giving back to the community.
