Mary, we are almost neighbors. My husband is from Canton. There are two daylily clubs in your/our area---Cobb County Daylily Society meets at the First United Methodist Church on Whitlock Avenue Marietta. The next meeting is Sunday, Feb 12 at 2:00. The guest speakers/hybridizers are Don and Nancy Eller from South Ga. This is a great group of people. We are members and will be at this meeting. There are some great daylily gardens in this area that I can recommend. Also, the Northwest Ga. Daylily Society meets next Saturday, Feb. 28 at 10:00 a.m. at our church in the Cartersville area. If you are interested in attending, I will give you the directions. One of our members will be talking about how he grows daylilies so well. He almost always wins Best In Show and has multiple winners on the head table at daylily shows that he enters. Also, there is the Daylily Society of Greater Atlanta, but it would be a further drive and much more traffic.
We would love to have you come over to our garden in June to see the daylilies. We grow over 2900 different registered cultivars and also hundreds of seedlings that we have hybridized. We really enjoy growing daylilies and lots of other perennials, shrubs, and trees. We are Shady Rest Gardens on the Region 5 list of AHS Display Gardens. We are easy to get to, just a few miles off I-75 north of Cartersville.
