Cut Flowers
Flowers are available for u-pick late-July through the end of September. Bouquets are $9 for all you can fit in an 8-inch twist tie (20ish stems). Baskets, snips and twist ties are provided. We grow over seventy certified organic cottage garden ornamentals, herbs, and edibles selected for their aesthetic charm, grace, and whimsy, with a full spectrum of vibrant and delicate hues.
Dahlias are the feature of our cutting garden ~ we grow over forty varieties, shapes, sizes and colors for casual and formal occasions.
In addition to our tried-and-trues, we introduce new varieties every season to keep it interesting!
We source seeds and tubers from our own fields and select certified organic suppliers.

Dahlias
Bring grace to the garden.
Planting Dahlia Tubers
Dahlias need full sun and well-draining soil.
Plant tubers in spring after danger of frost.
Dahlias bloom 75-90 days after planting.
Plant tubers 4-6" deep and 12-18" apart.
Mix a handful of bone meal in each hole.
Place tuber horizontally; eye pointing up.
Don't water at planting; wait until it sprouts.
Pinch out the center shoot at 12-16" height.
Enjoy continuous bloom until hard frost.
