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.

Make Hunger History
Sponsored by:Idaho State Historical Society
The “Make Hunger History” benefit begins Friday May 15, and will serve as an exclusive preview into the site before phased public re-openings of ISHS sites begin later in the week. The Old Idaho Penitentiary will first re-open its doors to members on May 22 and the Idaho State Museum will also host member’s only hours beginning May 18. The Research Center of the Idaho State Archives will open with limitations starting May 19.
Idahoans interested in taking part in the food drive will have a one-of-a-kind chance to make their donation by driving into the Old Pen’s historic Sally Port, the secure gate on the north side that was built in 1931 to accommodate shipments coming into and out of the historic prison. Vehicles that meet size restrictions will then be allowed to enter and take a loop through the prison grounds.
“We’re excited about this program for so many reasons, including the fact that Idahoans making donations will have an unprecedented chance to bring their vehicle into the Sally Port and then drive around a portion of the prison grounds,” said Amber Beierle, Historic Sites Administrator for ISHS. “But this collaboration is also exciting because we’re leveraging this experience into Idaho’s past into helping meet the needs today for the many Idahoans who are struggling to feed their families during the pandemic.”
The agency will set up a food and cash donation drop inside the Old Pen. Anyone in a vehicle with at least five cans of food and $5 in cash will be allowed into the Sally Port and then the prison grounds.
Donations of foodstuffs will be directed to St. Vincent de Paul on Overland Rd. in Boise. Cash donations will be diverted to the Idaho Food Bank and used to help buy perishable goods. 100% of proceeds and donations will go directly to these organizations.
