We’re tired of digging dahlias and we have TOO MANY!!! There are several hundred (1000 maybe?) in our u-pick garden and they’re up for grabs, er… digs?
This Sunday only from 12-2pm come and get them for dirt cheap!! BYO garden fork and shears if you have them.
One clump can be divided into several viable tubers that will grow into beautiful plants next season.
I’ll be on hand to answer all your questions and show you how to split ‘em up! 🪏🪏🪏
🌷This would also be a great time to place an online order for the Bulb Sale and you can pick it up while you’re here 😉

Magic mushrooms appeared where the fairies had danced the night before, giggling in the rain.
