Join us for our very first Dahlia Growing Workshop at Gina’s Garden!
If you are new to growing dahlias or looking to take your blooms to the next level, this hands on afternoon will teach you everything you need to successfully grow dahlias at home.

During the workshop we will cover:
🌸 Growing dahlias from seed
🌸 Gina’s Garden unique dahlia seedling coding system
🌸 Digging, dividing and storing dahlia tubers
🌸 Caring for your dahlias throughout the growing season

We will send you home with dahlia seeds, seedlings and tubers!

Come and spend an afternoon talking dahlias, learn from our experience growing them here at Gina’s Garden and leave ready to grow your own beautiful blooms.

Sunday 30th August
1.30pm
Gina’s Garden

Spaces are limited. Book your spot via the link in bio.

I always had big dreams for Gina’s Garden when we moved here. I just wasn’t sure how we were going to bring them to life.
Over the next 18 months we are going to make some big changes to the garden. While I am super excited it means saying goodbye to a few flowers we love.
So let’s make the most of one last spring filled with Daffodils, Ranunculus and Peonies 🌼
If you have fallen in love with our spring blooms, you will have a chance to take a little piece of Gina’s Garden home when we offer some of our collection for sale.
Here’s to one last Spring, and always coming up with new plans!

Ok… there were so many people interested in a dahlia workshop that I think it’s time we lock one in… or maybe even two?! 🎉

We’ll keep the groups small and spend the afternoon talking all things dahlias – growing from seed, dividing tubers, and general care to help you grow beautiful blooms.

We even have a brand new table in the garden ready to host everyone. 🌸

What do you think about late August or September? It works nicely after hockey season and is much closer to planting time.

Who’s keen? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Winter has truely set in ❄️
The garden is surrounded by fog this morning and the dahlias have had a couple of frosts.
I’m thinking of lifting the dahlias this year and trying to arrange them by colour.
If I do lift them, who would be interested in coming to a dahlia dividing workshop??? We could start some seedlings and send you home with a bunch of tubers you can’t get anywhere else. Who’s keen? 🙋‍♀️

It’s been raining all long weekend and I’ve been struggling with nothing to do… so I tackled the garden shed.

Turns out I may have a slight problem. 😂

Apparently I’ve been collecting:
📦 good boxes
🌱 seedling trays
🪴 far too many pots
🐑 wool mat from MyFoodBag boxes
🌼 seed heads and dried flowers
🥚 and a suspicious number of egg cartons… even though we don’t have chickens.

I never thought of myself as a hoarder… but after tidying the shed, I might need to reconsider.

Help me feel better about my collections. What do you keep just in case?

A little Mother’s Day treat at the gate today 🌸

We’ve made up 20 small posies from the very last of our autumn flowers. They’re not perfect, but they’re sweet, seasonal, and too lovely not to share.

You can keep them simple or add foliage from your garden at home to make a bouquet.

You will find them at our gate, 12 Fairfield Street, Brightwater. Please leave a gold coin donation in the box and leave the jars behind.

First in, first served 💛

Stuck on what to get Mum this Mother’s Day?

Give her something a little different this year 🌸

A Gina’s Garden voucher means a garden wander, fresh air, and picking her own bouquet when the flowers are in full bloom.

Our Pick-Your-Own season returns in Spring/Summer, and vouchers are available now as easy e-delivery.

💐 Head to the link in our bio to order.

I can’t believe our PYO flower season is almost over 🌸
If you’ve been meaning to visit, this is your sign. We only have TWO Saturdays left.

The second flush of dahlias are just hitting their stride, so there’s still plenty to pick and enjoy.

Will we see you in the garden this weekend? 💐
