I’ll be @candiafarmersmarketnh from 9-2 spreading some joy and whimsy with the last of this seasons dahlias. It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day at this special “Makers Market” with local artisans. I love being able to check out other crafters and hang with my community ❤️

I believe manifestations happen when you least expect them. Last nights community yoga in the garden was a dream I’ve had for years. I had everything set to host yoga classes this year at the original home of the garden and then…divorce.
.
I was heartbroken for many reasons, one being all the aspirations I had for the garden this year. I was blessed enough to find a new home for the garden and found the owner of the property, Jenny, to be the yin to my yang.
.
We talked about the future and she saw the same visions as I, and had more resources to reach out to the community. And together we created this magical event in 72 hours, and what a beautiful evening it turned out to be.
.
Practicing yoga with the stars and bistro lights illuminating our way, the peepers as our meditation music, and the dahlias as our guides representing a potent symbol of transition (how fitting for divorce!).
.
As I said in the beginning it’s incredible how manifestations come to you, and almost always in an unexpected way.

Don’t fret! This years extreme heat has really slowed things down, they almost go into a stasis to protect themselves…but it looks like the weather is shifting, the blooms are coming!

What magic! I can not WAIT to see 800 dahlias in bloom, illuminated in the night.
What a gift to not only have been given a space by my friend to continue to grow my flowers, but to have them be in a place so whimsical, so beautiful, was more then I could have dreamed. She put up threes stunning bistro lights, something I had always wanted to do for my home garden but was never able to do.
I never told her it was my vision which makes it all the more magical. It’s like she took a deep dive into my psyche, or maybe great minds just think alike. Either way…it’s going to be something even more special come fall when everything’s in full bloom.

Are saving my life right now ❤️ The woman who…
Receive you with empathy and hold space for you to share your burdens. Ground you and remind you “you got this!”
Take you out for a coffee or lunch and don’t ask for anything in return, knowing you have nothing to offer but your sincerest gratitude, and some flowers.
Donate hundreds of snapdragon plugs having never met you, knowing you unexpectedly had to start fresh and your early season went to 💩 when you need the income most.
These freshly planted #snapdragons are for you my friends.

Celebrate with me my new gardening space! Only a short distance down the street from where I was. There is a lot of work to be done to get it ready but what a GIFT.
.
I was PANICKING when I found out I had to sell my house and gardens…it took me 6 years to establish the garden and business and I thought I was losing it all…*poof,* in the blink of an eye. I have a large dahlia collection that if I was unable to get in the ground *poof,* 6 years of establishing my collection…gone.
.
So I sent some prayers out to the universe and surrendered, and a miracle came in an unsuspected way (which is how they seem to find us, am I right?). A friend/neighbor reached out not only offering her space but telling me I had a gift which she couldn’t see get lost. WOW. Little did she realize she was the answer to my prayers, she and this new garden are the answer to my prayers, and I’m so thankful for this ray of light while working through some darkness.

Dahlia Tuber sale April 6th at 12pm! How it works…
🌸I will be updating the shop website over the next two weeks. Everything will be labeled as “out of stock” until April 6 at 12pm when the shop will open.
🌸I will be sending out a reminder email with all the varieties for sale this year several days before the sale. If you haven’t signed up for my newsletter please do! Link in info.
🌸Because the sale is a little later then usual I will be mailing out tubers ASAP. No need to wait for the warmer weather this year. Local pick up will still be available, date will be in April, to be determined.
🌸The shop page will be under password protection an hour before the sale so I can update the inventory. The password will be removed promptly at 12pm for you to shop. YOU WILL NOT NEED A PASSWORD TO SHOP.
🌸I always do my best to combine orders and shipping costs if you place more then one order, but it is not guaranteed.
🌸Tuber loss is inevitable…I do my best but if you’ve grown dahlias you know sometimes they have minds of their own! If you order a variety and it turns out it was lost during storage I will refund your money on the tuber(s).
Thank you all for your patience this year! I’m so thankful for everyone who’s stuck by me! You keep the dreams alive!

I could watch these garden videos on repeat forever…nothing brings me more joy then hundreds of dahlias in full bloom. Nothing.

I’m convinced more then ever that art heals. Creativity sparks so many new neural networks that I find all the old connections quieting…Anxiety, depression, and even body aches can fade when lost in the bliss of imaginationland.
.
I dried many flowers last season so I would be ready to play over the winter, get the creative juices flowing and get an inventory of art together for artisan/craft fairs this summer. It’s been a few years since I’ve done a market, I had to take a break for my health, but I’m ready to share my art again. I’ll have mandala prints, resin art and jewelry, all inspired by nature. It’s all so exciting!!

Dahlias grown from seed add an air of mystery to the garden….
filling me with anticipation…
What will each bloom bring?
The wait to see what comes is hard, but the reward couldn’t be greater. Natures letting me bring even more beauty into the world…we co-created these seedling work of arts. Damn that makes me happy.
.
This seedling is from my 2023 garden. Every bloom had varying amounts of buttery yellow and white, changing to a brighter yellow in fall.
.
Here’s to hoping her tubers save well 🤞🏻. If she performs consistently the next couple of seasons she’ll get a name and I’ll release her to the world during my annual tuber sale. The futures looking INCREDIBLE!

Hybridizing dahlias is filling me with delight! This lovely you see here is a first, born right here at April Showers Flowers from a dahlia seed. You see, when you plant seed every single dahlia that blooms is a surprise. If you’re lucky enough some really interesting ones will bloom!
.
The goal is to save the tubers from some of these amazing new finds, expand stock on them, and sell them in a few years as an “April Showers” original. It’s so much fun I don’t know if I can buy tubers again!

This garden is my heart and soul…the visceral feelings it brings are more then any words could ever come close to describing. Sometimes it saddens me not many people get to see it, I want to share it with everyone.
.
I have to remind myself that it’s ok for it to be just for me.
