ADS Medal Recipients

The American Daffodil Society has a tradition of honoring individuals who have contributed to the betterment of daffodils and the American Daffodil Society. To this end, the American Daffodil Society has three medals, a gold medal, a silver medal, and the president’s medal.

The American Daffodil Society Silver Medal may be awarded each year and  in the words of the ADS By-laws:  The Silver Medal of the American Daffodil Society shall be awarded to an individual deemed by the Honors Committee as being worthy of “recognition of outstanding service to the American Daffodil Society.”  The Silver Medal honorees are listed by year on our ADS Silver Medal Recipients page.
