What are the different memberships?

Below you will find three different annual memberships to sign up for and purchase. We offer:

• Whatcom County Dahlia Society Membership for a single and a household. This is a simple way to get support from fellow dahlia growers and support the club to continue to offer resources to the community & its members.

• Federation of NW Dahlias Membership is WCDS’ regional support network/federation. Registering for membership to the Federation of NW Dahlias is an opportunity to learn from more dahlia growers, hybridizers, and judges in the broader region of WA, OR, & ID. If you’re interested in more of the show side and becoming a dahlia judge for shows, signing up here would benefit you.

• American Dahlia Society is WCDS’ national support network. From the ADS is where everything flows into the regional dahlia federations and the local branches. Registering for memberships to the ADS provides member-exclusive access to spaces on the website & to receive four quarterly magazines.

NOTE: We open WCDS membership registration after our September show for the following year. We encourage you to sign up or renew prior to the new year. Any membership renewal or joining prior to our show in early September will count toward that year. Any membership renewal or joining after our show in early September will apply to the following year (ie signup August 2025 means membership is only for the 2025 year; signup post show in 2025 means membership is for the 2026 calendar year).
