From Our Farm to Your Garden Series
Storing Dahlia Tubers Workshop
Master the essential skill every dahlia grower needs
With rain coming and frost having done its work, it's time for one of the most important dahlia tasks of the year: digging and storing tubers for winter.
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll learn the essential art of dahlia rescue. Perfect timing since we dig ours 1-2 weeks after hard frost—and with our wet Pacific Northwest winters, this skill can mean the difference between thriving tubers and winter mush.
What You'll Master
Proper digging technique (hello, pitchfork skills!)
Identifying viable eyes for next year's blooms
Cleaning, dividing, and storing tubers through winter
Why this matters especially in our rainy climate
When and why to divide (if yours haven't been dug in a few years, they might be getting compacted!)
Workshop Details
When: Sunday, October 26 | 10am-12pm
Where: Love & Greens Flower Farm, Shelton, WA
Investment: $35
What's Included: Hands-on instruction, practice tubers to take home, all tools provided
Practice Without Pressure
You'll work on "practice tubers" that aren't going into next year's production, so you can learn without worry. Plus, you'll take home tubers for your own garden come spring.
We'll dig outdoors (bring clothes you don't mind getting muddy!), then move to a covered area for cleaning, eye identification, and packing your tubers.
