About Us

The Nebraska Daylily Society (NDS) was started in 1986 by people who had a great interest in growing fine daylilies and wanted to join with others who had the same interest. After 35 years, the club is alive and well with over 50 members both families and individuals. The American Daylily Society is divided up into geographic regions and NDS is a part of Region One.

Our Purpose

NDS tries to publicize and advance the growing of fine hybrid daylilies by promoting good horticulture with all the things that go into growing healthy plants that show their best qualities to anyone that enters our gardens.

Who We Are

We might be your neighbor, your co-worker, your church parishioner, maybe someone in the same town that found daylilies through another club member. We are people just like yourselves that enjoy "playing in the dirt" and growing beautiful flowers. Maybe you would like to join us?

Dave is a dearly missed friend who always had gardening advice and plants to share with fellow NDS members. Photo by L. Ferguson
