Do you grow dahlias – even one?  Come and take part in our Visitors' Dahlia Competition at RHS Garden Wisley! Its great fun to enter and is all about homegrown blooms that the judges think would make lovely garden dahlias. Prizes to be won each day. Here's what one of our previous winners has to say: 

‘It's not the winning but the taking part that counts! However, having never won anything in life then going on to win the Visitors’ Dahlia Competition not once but twice is a dream come true! I urge you to give it a go – I've met some super people and it’s opened up a whole new sphere for me’. – Sarah

Simply bring your dahlia stems to the National Dahlia Society Marquee before 1pm on Saturday 5 or Sunday 6 September 2026, and we will provide everything you need to stage your blooms and enter the competition.
 
Please note: The competition is free to visitors to the RHS Garden Wisley Flower Show and is not open to National Dahlia Society (NDS) exhibitors. If you have any questions about the competition please contact [email protected]
