Dahlia season doesn't end with the last flower or the first frost. Beneath the ground lies the treasure that will produce next year's glorious blooms.
Have you wondered about dahlia care and what steps need to be taken to overwinter the tubers?
This hands-on workshop will take you through the process of digging, dividing and storing tubers. We will examine the anatomy of a tuber and what makes it viable to produce next year's blooms. You will learn how to divide clumps of tubers to increase your dahlia inventory and discover different storage options. Since successful storage depends on a myriad of factors, class size is limited to allow for individual questions and discuss specific methods for your home.
At the conclusion of the workshop, you will take home a dahlia tuber that you divided.
This class will take place in our high tunnel, please dress appropriately for the elements and hands-on activities. Warm refreshments will be provided.
