Site Started Feb. 22, 2002

Club History: Welcome to the Middle Tennessee Daylily Society. Our first meeting was held in the home of Jay and Peggy Turman in 1989. The club's first daylily show was in 1990.  Over the years we have grown from eleven members to well over 100 members at the present time.  Over the last 15 years, members of the MTDS have maintained the Virginia Peck Memorial Garden at Cheekwood.

Each year the club participates in the Nashville Lawn and Garden show. This event allows us the opportunity to meet other gardeners as well as introduce new gardeners to the wonderful world of daylilies.
