I finally finished digging dahlia tubers yesterday before today's wintery weather hit - which means I'm out in the snow harvesting for tonight's wreath making workshop at .

Next week additional wreaths will be available for purchase, as well as holiday greens arrangements.

We had a beautiful weekend and I was able to dig up 4 more beds of dahlias to divide and save. Found this little cutie while I was at it! I obviously disturbed his wintertime resting spot, but I hope he still has time to get cozy again before the cold weather *finally* hits later this week.

I've been digging and dividing dahlias for the last few weeks, and I'm almost halfway done (thanks to some reinforcement from my mom!). I can't believe the weather has cooperated, but so very glad has.

Pictured is dahlia Valley Rust Bucket - which was gorgeous this summer!

I'm offering a wreath making workshop for the first time this year! Join me Thursday, November 21st at in north Elmhurst to make your own wreath to bring home and enjoy for the holidays! I'll have fresh greens as well as dried flowers to choose from, so you'll be able to customize your wreath just for you. Outdoors you can expect your wreath to last through the entire holiday season and we'll into the new year - indoors a dried flower wreath can last indefinitely if properly cared for.

Seats are limited, so reserve yours today here: https://www.greengardenmama.com/product-page/wreath-making-workshop-nov-21-7pm

Hope to see you there!

Prepping one last week of bouquets before the farm likely closes for the season. Still some lovely dahlias, mums, celosia, and greens left, and I'm trying to soak it in to prepare for the long dark winter.

If you need one too, pm me to set up a pickup!

I'm soaking up these last few glorious "summer" days, but also preparing myself for the end of the season.

But before this season ends, I'm also prepping for next season's growth! Tulip bulbs should begin to arrive over the next few weeks, and I have extras of all my favorites to share.

Check my bio to shop my website and reserve your favorite tulips for your own yard. Whether you enjoy them in the landscape or bring them in to enjoy the blooms up close, these beauties should be spectacular.

This variety is "Columbus", and is the pretties mix of raspberry and cream, and is one of the few scented tulips I grow.

Pickup will be in mid November in north Lombard, but shipping is available as well.

The dahlia field was touched by frost last night, but it looks like the damage was minimal. Some blooms were lost, but almost every single plant will make it through. With the warmer temps coming over the next week, I still expect to have flowers available!

If you're looking for last chance bouquets, now is the time! Starting at $25, bouquets are available any day with at least 3 hours notice, pickup in north Lombard. You've got about 10 more days, and then fresh flowers will be done for the season.

This is dahlia "Nicholas", a variety I almost decided not to grow this year. But I gave it one more year and boy oh boy, I'm glad I did.

The first bloom is super short and "crotchy", stuck down low between 2 longer stems. But cut deep and all the remaining blooms are on longer, sturdy stems.

The blooms practically glow from within.

He's not quite peach, not quite orange, but big and beautiful. A fall favorite for sure!

Tubers will be available for preorder before the end of December - both shipping and local options available.

Several moody jewel toned arrangements out the door today for a dinner party this weekend... loving the dark fall colors!

A custom anniversary arrangement out the door this morning - I love to be a part of people's special celebrations!

10/04/2024

Happy ! Extra bouquets available Friday afternoon and all weekend, just pm me to schedule a pickup. Bouquets are $25, available for pickup in north Lombard.

I added a trial bed of these Japanese Anemone this spring - and I think they make the cut! This bunch is off to a florist this week, and I can't wait to add more next year.

I'm heading back to again this Thursday for my last flower arranging workshop of the season! There are still spots available here: https://www.greengardenmama.com/product-page/flower-arranging-workshop-thursday-october-3-2024-7pm

Cornel Red, such a trooper. This flower is so easy to grow, good bloomer on strong stems, great tuber maker, easy to store... such a classic.

I'm at today until noon, along with and , 617 N York Rd in Elmhurst. Come grab a coffee, pastry, and some fresh flowers before we sell out!

We just got back from a family vacation and there are SO. MANY. DAHLIAS. That's great news for you! This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday you can choose from mixed bouquets or a straight bunch of dahlias for only $25. Only a few weeks left in this flower-filled season!

Thanks for the photo.

A perennial favorite - Caitlin's Joy. Nice stems, good tubers, and such a cool transitional color from summer to fall. Is it orange? Is it purple? Does it matter??

Loving this cool "dreadlocks" amaranth in my test patch this season - can't wait to grow more next year!
