What a wonderful day at the 125th Wappingers Falls Dahlia Show! 🌸🏆

Yesterday we had the joy of bringing some of our favorite dahlia blooms to this special event, and we’re so excited to share that our dahlias received 4 awards! 🥇🌸✨

It’s always such a rewarding experience to see the beautiful flowers grown by fellow dahlia enthusiasts and to celebrate the incredible variety, beauty, and dedication that goes into growing these flowers.

We’re feeling very grateful and proud of our blooms — and already looking forward to next year! 💐

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the show such a wonderful celebration of dahlias and the growers who love them. ❤️

After a gloomy winter, we can start to look forward and begin to visualize our 2026 garden. We are in year three of our business and would like to take you behind the scenes to share our seed starting process that begins in late February/ early March. We are excited to show key stages like garden planning, seed starting process, hardening off, and outdoor planting, as well as the fun we have along the way. Very soon, we will begin this process in a controlled environment to provide the best growing conditions. These pictures are from our 2025 process. Stay tuned for live updates on our 2026 seeds as they mature into plants to grow in our garden.
