This is the
official WEB site of the Dixie African Violet Society (DAVS), a nonprofit organization,
founded in 1956 to afford an association of persons with similar interest in African
violets within an area not too vast for occasional meeting - - JOIN
US! There are
thirteen states included in DAVS: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and
Virginia. Groups primarily concerned with growing and showing African violets in
these states can become affiliate members of DAVS; however, individual membership is open
to all persons world wide.
The 50th Convention celebrated our 51st Year, and was held on March
21 - 24, 2007, at the Holiday Inn, Lakeland,
Florida. Convention pictures can be seen on our convention

In
2008, our Annual Convention and Show was held March 12 - 15, 2008 in Birmingham,
Alabama, at the Holiday Inn - Airport, Birmingham. The Early Bird African
Violet Club was the sponsor. Look at our Photo
Album of this year's Convention Show Winners. For
new growers of African violets and other gesneriads, we suggest you review
our growing instructions representing the best procedures
used by our members. |
