🌸 Officially dug the first dahlia tuber clumps of the season tonight in preparation for Saturday’s workshop!

And you guys… they look GREAT! Nice, plump tubers and — if you’ve been following along all season — very little sign of vole damage. WHEW. 🙌

I can’t wait to dig into more of these on Saturday and show you how to divide, identify those precious little eyes, and get your dahlias ready for next season!

There’s still room in Saturday’s workshop, and only 3 spots left for November 8th! 🌱

Want the details and registration link? Drop a 🌸 in the comments and I’ll send it your way!

(And yes, there may or may not be a picture of Gus thrown in here just because. 😂❤️)

🌸 So… what happens to your dahlias now?

The blooms are fading, the frost has started doing its thing, and if you’re anything like me, you’re looking at your dahlia plants wondering how the heck we get from this to another beautiful garden next summer. 😂

Here’s the good news: those plants still have something pretty amazing tucked underground!

And if you’ve ever looked at a clump of dahlia tubers and thought, What in the world am I supposed to do with all of this?! — you’re not alone.

That’s exactly why I’m hosting my Dahlia Tuber Workshops this fall! 🌱

We’ll dig (weather and field conditions permitting), get our hands dirty dividing tubers, learn how to spot those precious little eyes, and talk about storing them so they’re ready to grow again next year.

You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t even need to bring your own tubers. Just come curious and ready to learn!

I’m offering two dates:
🌸 Saturday, October 17
🌸 Sunday, November 8

Both workshops run from 9–11 AM in Lebanon, Maine, and are $40 per person. Your spot includes a storage tote and storage medium, plus early access to my 2027 dahlia tuber sales.

I’m keeping each group small so there’s plenty of time for questions and hands-on learning.

If you’ve been wanting to try dahlias, or you’ve grown them this year and want to feel a little more confident going into next season, I’d love to have you join me. ❤️

Let’s get those dahlias ready for another year of blooms!

As the flower season slows and comes to a close - I’m savoring the last few blooms.

This weekend is looking FROSTY!

I think we just may celebrate the true FROSTMAS!

Do you have a plan for your dahlias after that happens?!

Comment below if you need some help! I’m here for you! 💗

🌸 A little dahlia field work this weekend…

I’ll be spending some time cutting back the dahlias that took too much frost damage to give me many more blooms this season. And while I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to flower season, it’s time to start thinking about what comes next!

Is this where you’re at with your dahlias, too?

Here are a few tips as you start preparing to dig your tubers:

🌱 Cut back the frost-damaged plants, leaving a good 4–6 inches of stem above the ground. That stem will serve as a handy little “handle” when it’s time to dig!

🌱 Ideally, leave your tubers in the ground for about 7–14 days after a killing frost to give them time to mature. A little longer can be fine, too, as long as the soil isn’t at risk of freezing.

🐝 And this part is always a little emotional for me. As I cut things back, I pluck off the spent blooms and leave them behind for the bees. One last little gift before the season wraps up. 💛

Not sure what to do with your dahlias after frost? Wondering how to dig, divide, label, and store those tubers so you can grow them all over again next year?

Come learn with me! 🌸

I’m hosting two hands-on Dahlia Tuber Workshops:

🌷 Saturday, October 17 | 9–11 AM
🌷 Sunday, November 8 | 9–11 AM

We’ll get our hands dirty, work through tuber clumps together, and cover the ins and outs of dividing and storing dahlias for next season.

✨ $40 per person
✨ Limited to 10 participants per session
✨ Includes a storage tote, storage medium, and early access to my 2027 dahlia tuber sales!

Whether you’re a seasoned dahlia grower or trying to figure out what to do with your very first clump, I’d love to help!

🌸 DAHLIA TUBER WORKSHOP 2026 🌸

Ever wonder what happens to all those beautiful dahlias when flower season comes to an end? It’s time to talk tubers!

I’m opening up the farm for two hands-on dahlia tuber workshops this fall! We’ll get our hands dirty learning how to divide dahlia clumps, identify viable eyes, and store tubers for next year’s blooms.

Whether you’re brand-new to dahlias or you’ve been growing them for years and want to build your confidence, I’d love to have you join me!

🌱 Choose your workshop date:

🌸 Saturday, October 17 | 9–11 AM
We’ll start with a digging demonstration right in my dahlia field (weather and field conditions permitting), then work through dividing and storing tubers together.

🌸 Sunday, November 8 | 9–11 AM
This session will focus on dividing and storing tubers. You’ll receive digging and storage guidance ahead of time so you can get your clumps out of the ground and safely stored until the workshop.

What’s included?
🌱 Two hours of hands-on instruction and Q&A
🌱 A small storage tote and storage medium
🌱 Early access to my 2027 dahlia tuber sales!

💐 $40 per person
Additional storage tote and medium available for $10.

Bring a tuber clump if you have one, a pair of sharp gardening snips, and be ready to get a little dirty! Don’t have your own dahlias yet? No problem — you’ll be able to work through a clump from my farm.

Space is limited, so if you’ve been wanting to learn more about growing dahlias, this is your chance!

I can’t wait to share a little of the behind-the-scenes magic of growing dahlias with you!

You all SHOWED UP today to send these blooms off for an incredible final day of the season, and I am absolutely floored. 🥹🌸

Tonight I came home, put the groceries away, and sat on the couch for a bit. And honestly? I feel a little lost without flowers to harvest. After months of planning, planting, growing, harvesting, and hustling, it’s a strange feeling to have that part of my day suddenly come to an end.

But the flower season isn’t quite over yet! Now begins the big dahlia dig, and I’ll be sharing details about the Dahlia Tuber Workshop TOMORROW! 👀

From the bottom of my flower-loving heart, THANK YOU. For stopping by, for supporting this little flower dream, for making these blooms part of your lives, and for showing up season after season.

You have no idea how much it means to me. ❤️

UPDATE: sold out - THANK YOU SO MUCH!

🌸 THE FINAL FRESH FLOWER FRIDAY OF THE 2026 SEASON! 🌸

This is it, friends. 🥹

After a season full of growing, harvesting, weather watching, and more than a few conversations with Mother Nature… we’ve made it to the final Fresh Flower Friday.

I want to take a moment to thank every single one of you who has stopped by the flower stand this season.

The fact that these flowers have become part of your routines, your little traditions, and something that brings a bit of joy to your days? That means more to me than you know.

YOU are the reason I keep growing and showing up. 💗

So let’s enjoy these last blooms while we can!

🌸 FRIDAY STAND HOURS: 6 AM–5 PM

Come early, friends. These flowers are extra special, and there’s a limited supply. 🥹

📍 57 Elm Street, North Berwick, ME

And just because the flowers are wrapping up for the season doesn’t mean I’m disappearing! 😂

Stay tuned for dahlia tuber workshop details and holiday wreaths in the coming months. And if you need flowers for a special occasion, don’t hesitate to reach out about a custom order. If I can’t make it happen, I’ll happily point you toward some of my wonderful flower friends!

Thank you for making this little flower dream what it is. Truly.

Now let’s give these last blooms the send-off they deserve. 🌸💗💗

10/07/2026

Well… jokes on me. 😂🥶

While I didn’t get the magical frozen-in-time moment I was hoping for this morning — you know, those gorgeous ice crystals covering every bloom — the fields absolutely did get hit with frost.

And they took some serious damage.

I’m definitely surprised. And if I’m being honest, a little disappointed. I really thought we had snuck past it this time.

Over the next day or so, I’ll start cutting back the damage, assess what’s still out there, and figure out what these fields have left to give.

But here’s the reality:

The 2026 flower season is coming to a close. 🌸

If you want flowers, Friday will more than likely be the last day to grab them from the stand. And as always, you can reach out anytime to inquire about a private order.

I’m sad to see it end… but I’m also tired. 😂 And maybe that’s okay, too.

So I’m going to take a deep breath, clean up these fields, and soak up whatever beauty is still out there.

Mother Nature gets the last word every time.

Apparently, she just likes to keep me guessing until the very end. 😂🌸

10/07/2026

Very early this morning, I quietly crept out of bed, put on my bathrobe, layered a jacket over it, hooked Gus up to his leash, and headed out to the dahlias…

Fully expecting to find a whole lot of frozen flowers. 😬

I could see my breath. There was definitely a bite in the air.

And then…

MY FRIENDS. WE DID NOT GET A FROST. 🌸🙌

Mother Nature never ceases to surprise me. Or amaze me.

So what does that mean for the farm? For the flowers? For the flower stand?

Honestly… I’m not quite sure yet. 😂

I do plan to intentionally slow down. I need it.

But I also made myself a promise:

As long as there is no frost, there will be flowers.

So for now, I’m going to soak up every single bloom this season has left to give and share as much of it with you as I possibly can.

Apparently, we’re not done yet. 🌸💗

10/06/2026

Come what may…

I am forever thankful for the season…

Bouquets will be available no matter the weather tonight…

For now, we wait.
