Sunday, November 1
1:00 - 3:00 pm
If you’re new to growing dahlias or interested in learning how we harvest fall tubers here at a larger scale, join me in the dahlia field and I’ll walk you through all the steps.
We’ll cover:
harvesting dahlia clumps from the field
dividing dahlia tubers, while learning the anatomy of a clump and the body parts of a tuber and how to select the most viable tubers for saving
best practices for labeling your tubers
the pros and cons of different winter storage methods
tips for getting a head start next spring!
Gain some hands-on practice if that’s your learning style - or just observe the process. Come away with confidence for digging & storing your own dahlias and as a bonus: 5 complimentary tubers to take home and plant next year.
Suggested workshop attire:
Sturdy Footwear: Work boots, muck boots, or anything you don't mind getting dirty.
Work Gloves: Essential for protecting your hands and keeping clean as we lift clumps.
Extra Protection (Optional): Hosing off the tubers can get messy! Jeans often get soaked, so feel free to bring rain pants, coveralls, or a spare pair of pants if you have plans after class. You're also welcome to just watch this part if you prefer.
Warm Layers: It can be breezy in the field, making a windbreaker ideal. Plus, our indoor session later today will be in an unheated space, so layers are definitely your friend!
note: Workshop registrations are transferrable but non-refundable.
