Nebraska Daylily Society (NDS)

Club Programs

Door Prizes

At each regular meeting, two door prizes are given to members who have returned previous door prize plants for the auction per the agreement signed. The agreement states that when a door prize is won, the recipient is to return the same number of fans for a later auction equaling the number of fans received to begin with from the door prize purchase.

BUCK$ Cards

At the beginning of each year NDS members are given BUCK$ Cards, which are stamped for all club activities that a person takes part in throughout the year. During the following year, members may redeem their cards at our Plant Auctions for credit on their purchases.

Club Plants

Club Platns will be given out at the May meeting each year to all members who've had perfect meeting attendance the prior year (4 meetings: January, May, July & August). Members who attend 3 meetings in a year's time may also earn a Clup Plant by accumulating at least $15 worth of stamps on their BUCK$ Card.

The plants are to be kept two years. After two years. all the incease of the Club Plant is to be returned for club auction at either the May or August meeting.

Annual Lauritzen Gardens Sale

Each year at the "Spring Into Spring" event at Lauritzen Gardens, NDS has a sales table, selling daylilies provided by the membership, with the selling handled by the members as well. The sales receipts go a long way toward funding the NDS college scholarships.

Scholarship Program

NDS awards one or two college scholarships each year to members or family of members who are enrolled full time in horticulture classes at a Nebraska college or university and keep a grade point of 3.0 on a four-point scale or it's equivalent. See NDS Yearbook for complete program or contact one of the officers for application. There is also a NDS Scholarship Page on this website.

Plant Auctions

At the May and August NDS meetings, plant auctions are held to support all of the current NDS programs, with NDS purchased and member supplied plants.
