Welcome
to the web site of the Daylily Society of SouthEast
Wisconsin! We are a garden club of people who love daylilies
and we invite you to become a member. Our club was incorporated
in 1997 and currently has over 75 active members.
The
Daylily Society of SouthEast Wisconsin (DSSEW) is an
affiliated member of the American Hemerocallis Society
and is organized as a non-profit corporation whose purpose
is to promote and encourage the cultivation, study,
development and improvement of the genus Hemerocallis,
and to foster its public interest. (An unstated purpose
is to provide the membership with the joy of getting
to know other gardeners and of growing daylilies.) |
The
June daylily sale crew ready to work
To
achieve our purpose, we have four membership meetings, in
January, March, May, and a November business and election
meeting, with educational programs each meeting to which members
and the public are invited. DSSEW also conducts a fund raising
sale the first Saturday of June to support our club projects;
the purchasing of daylilies to grow in area public gardens
and support of the educational activities of the Boerner Botanical
Gardens. To provide plants for the sale, the club maintains
a daylily garden capable of holding over 750 plants.
