We had a fantastic tuber sale this past weekend with the excitement for the upcoming season matching the concern of our members as to where we're all going to find enough space to plant all the extra beauties we walked away with😅
We still have extra exhibition quality tubers needing a home so for the next two weeks we will be selling bundles of 5 tubers (mixed variety) for $10.
No postage
Cash only
Pick up in Napier only
If interested, please contact Dorothy on 068354123

Have you ever wondered what it takes to exhibit dahlias? If you're keen to take your Dahlia growing to the next level and learn from some of our most experienced growers, please leave a comment as an expression of interest. We have an expanded novice section in our annual show (early February) and we would love to welcome some new exhibitors!

Several weeks ago we had our AGM where we said farewell to our past president, John McCutcheon and welcomed our new president, Lynda Stephenson. John and his wife Joyce have traveled across New Zealand with their prize winning blooms and they will be missed as they embark on their next adventure! Lynda has dedicated a large portion of her life to plants, their identification and growing and everything in between, how lucky are we!

And here they are, the best blooms of the day❤️ Congratulations to the exhibitors, keep an eye out for our follow up posts to find out who the growers of the winning Dahlias are!
