If you know anything about the Central Coast, you know about our iconic pink jewel next to the sea-the Madonna Inn! This historic inn is kitschy, fun, and BEAUTIFUL. But did you know that there’s a secret garden? That’s right-behind the rose garden where people go to get married there is a garden full of beautiful blooms-including these Garden Dahlias! Native to Mexico and Central America, they bloom from summer to first frost-meaning that these beauties are in the peak of their blooming season! Dahlias were brought to Europe by the conquistadors, and since they are grown from tubers they were easy to transport. They’ve since become a favorite of gardeners the world over. It’s exciting to have these beauties so close to home. If you’re in the Central Coast the Madonna is a must see anyway-and now you know to check out their Dahlias! 🥰
