Join us on the farm for a hands on casual class where you will learn how to divide and store your dahlia tubers!
November 1st 11am-1pm
One of the magical things about Dahlias is that you can divide their tubers (the part that grow under the dirt) and each one of those little tubers will grow an entire new plant next season for you! That means MORE dahlias and isn’t that what we all want!? Don’t need MORE of your dahlias? You can also trade your tubers withe friends and neighbors! Collecting more varieties is part of the fun! For this class you have 2 choices:
1) Bring your own dahlia clumps
or
2) Work on dividing one of ours
If you choose to bring your own: be sure to dig yours up the day before class or the morning of, using a pitchfork carefully so you don’t break or pierce the tubers. Give it a good strong spray cleaning to remove dirt. Let dry, out of sun (not on concrete!) overnight and bring with you on Sunday. If you dig up your tubers too far in advance, leave them in the sun, or on a drying surface like concrete they will dry and shrivel. Store in a cool dark place until class.
Each person leaves with a Tuber! We will have Lark’s Ebb and Babette to choose from.
We will have clippers to use, but feel free to bring your own! Make sure to bring a container for your tubers if you are diving your own clumps. *This is an outdoor event. Please dress accordingly including gloves to keep your hands warm and that are appropriate for garden work.
