There is something deeply magical about dahlias — their abundance, their colour, and the way they transform a summer garden into something extraordinary.

Join us on 26 September from 09h00 – 12h00 for a hands-on morning dedicated to learning the art of growing, multiplying, and dreaming with dahlias.

Whether you are just beginning your flower-growing journey or already filling your garden with blooms, this workshop is designed to give you practical knowledge, confidence, and inspiration for the season ahead.

What You’ll Learn

Together, we will uncover the essentials of successful dahlia growing through an interactive and practical experience.

• Learn how to divide and separate dahlia clumps
• Explore proper planting techniques for healthy summer growth
• Discover how to take cuttings for crop expansion
• Learn about seed saving and seed growing for creating new varieties
• Gain practical seasonal growing knowledge you can take home and apply immediately

What You’ll Receive

• A copy of Uncovering Dahlias
• A dahlia clump to divide and plant during the workshop
• A Dahlia Breeding Worksheet to guide your future breeding and seed-growing journey

More Than a Workshop

We’ll gather slowly around flowers, good conversation, homemade floral teas, and nourishing eats, creating space not only to learn, but to connect and grow together.
