Some people say I have a problem but itβs not hoarding if itβs dahlias.

It started with a gift
It didnβt seem like that long ago I got a call from a flower farmer offering to share some dahlias from their field. I jumped at the chance - who wouldnβt? The shine wore off when I realized how much work it would take for me to learn how to care for these new treasures and get them to bloom again. I was just starting out on my flower journey. Since then Iβve become more confident growing the flowers Iβm most drawn to. Iβm crazy about flowers but I wouldnβt really say itβs a problem.
After a few years of growing my library Iβm offering some of my favorite dahlia tubers for sale. In the summer months I sell bouquets at my farm stand and offer DIY bridal buckets of blooms and greens for those interested in crafting their own centerpieces and bouquets for their big day.
Curated with care
I have filled my flower field with my favorite dahlias and cut flowers for bouquets. In the spring I look forward to anemones, narcissus, tulips and peonies. Then everything shifts and itβs dahlia-mania until mid summer when I look up and see myself surrounded by blooms in my favorite place, the flower field. I hope you find some new favorites in my collection.
