Winter workshops are now listed! Starting with our annual Dahlia workshop which this year is called ‘Grow, Care + Divide’

If you’ve loved growing Dahlias this past Summer but are not quite sure what to do with them over Winter… this workshop is for you!

Plus we are giving away all our secrets on how we grow and care for our Dahlias throughout the season, along with comprehensive notes to take home and a yummy hot soup lunch!

Full details on our website or via the link in bio.

It’s going to be a fun and informative session packed with hot tips (and probably chilly weather!) Hope you can join us!

Dahlia seeds! If you fancy yourself a fun growing project this coming spring… you should try starting some Dahlias from seed! It’s quite literally my favourite all time thing to do! Every plant you grow will be a brand new, never before seen bloom as dahlia seed is not true to type -meaning it doesn’t produce the same plant as the parent plant. But when these unique new babies start flowering…. oh boy….the anticipation of finding a new gorgeous flower! So much excitement and Christmas morning feels!

Our dahlia seed is open pollinated and carefully collected from our favourite cut flower varieties we grow across the farm.

Dahlia seed is easy to grow too…. we start ours with the wet paper towel method (see next slide) and then pop the sprouted seed straight into a pot or seedling tray with potting mix. So easy and they grow fast! The remaining slides are all seedlings we produced this year. The smokey pink Anemone form is one of my top 5!

I’ve popped a link 🔗 taking you straight to our dahlia seeds in our bio links. We have lots of other new seeds about to be listed too which I’m very excited about! Kim has been doing a fantastic job collecting new seeds for us in the field all season. Will be sending out details in our next newsletter this coming weekend once everything is loaded up in our shop …so make sure you are on our mailing list if you want to be the first to know!
