Dahlia Days with Rick Peckham's Greenhouse

Dahlias are a showstopper both in the garden and in the vase, but they often intimidate even the most experienced gardeners. How do you divide the tubers? How do you overwinter? When do you dig them up in the fall and re-plant in the spring? How about staking? All of these questions and more will be demystified in a hands-on demonstration and discussion by grower and experienced nurseryman Rick Peckham.

In Session I of the class, we will learn about basic dahlia care, growing tips, and how to properly divide tubers in the fall. Workshop attendees will learn the process of dividing dahlia tubers, and be able to take some home for their own garden. This workshop will be held indoors and outdoors, so please dress accordingly. Bring gardening gloves with you if you have the!

Light refreshments will be served. A limited selection of dahlias will be available for purchase.
