How do I grow and show a Dahlia?
Where do I get one from?
It must be difficult!
I want to grow one but I have heard they always get covered in earwigs.
If so, then now is your chance! Take part in the MDS 50th anniversary: 'grow and show a Dahlia' competition'.
What's involved?
Enter the competition and receive your free Dahlia plant. At the end of May 2008 you plant it in your garden. You should get some flowers during August and September. On competition day you bring your best bloom and it is judged along with the other entries. Prizes are awarded for the best three blooms!

1. Send an e-mail to the MDS web site co-ordinator, with your name, address and contact details
