About Us

Founded in 1963, the Chicagoland Daylily Society brings together gardeners who share a love of daylilies, a curiosity about gardening, and an appreciation for the friendships that grow along the way.

Our members range from beginning gardeners to experienced collectors and hybridizers, united by a desire to learn, share knowledge, and celebrate the beauty and diversity of daylilies.

Through educational programs, garden visits, special events, and community activities, we encourage the growing, appreciation, and study of daylilies while promoting a broader interest in gardening.

We are proud of Chicagoland’s rich daylily heritage and committed to inspiring future generations of gardeners.

The Chicagoland Daylily Society is a nonprofit gardening organization and an affiliated member of the American Daylily Society.

Whether you’re growing your first daylily or your five-hundredth, there’s a place for you in our Society.
