BADS is in the planning stages for the 2009 Region 4 Regional Meeting. For more details, please see the 2009 Regional page.

Founded to educate gardeners in the Western New York Area on the beauty, culture, and usefulness of Daylilies in the garden.

The BADS crew visiting Daylily World

Buffalo maybe most recognized for its perceived reputation for snow and cold, it can get cold and we
can have some snow but we also have fabulous daylily gardens and warm and generous club members.
Speaking of snow we were founded on a cold January evening in 1995 by a few enthusiasts who
enamored with the beauty and hardiness of the daylily came together to form the Buffalo Area Daylily
Society. Our mission that we chose to accept was to promote and educate the general gardening public
about the fine qualities and diversity of this wonderful perennial.

We have grown significantly over the past decade and have hosted one Regional and are planning
another one, with garden tours as well as help organized other daylily clubs, most significant among them the
Ontario Daylily Society. Together we founded the original Canadian American Daylily Muster that has
grown to become one of the best annual symposiums in North America.

Our goal is to bring to our members the best in plant material through our acquisition program as
well as educational opportunities by way of noted hybridizers and daylily notables at our meetings and events.
So please join in the hospitality and make some new garden friends with the BADS folk and learn more
about daylilies.
