Dahlia Dig Day
You grew the dahlias. You enjoyed the blooms. And now frost has arrived and you’re staring at a clump of tubers wondering... what exactly am I supposed to do with this thing?
Come get your hands dirty at Dahlia Dig Day, a hands-on workshop designed to take some of the mystery out of digging, dividing, and storing your dahlias for winter.
We’ll head right into the dahlia beds and walk through the process together, including:
When your dahlias are ready to dig and what to look for
How to safely lift tuber clumps from the ground
Different approaches to dividing, including fall vs. spring dividing
How to identify viable tubers and eyes
Storage options and how we prepare our tubers for winter
Common mistakes and lessons we’ve learned along the way
And we’re not just going to talk about it. You’ll get to practice dividing dahlia clumps yourself!
This is meant to be a relaxed, practical workshop where you can see the entire process up close, ask questions, and leave feeling more confident tackling your own dahlias at home.
Come ready to get dirty!
This workshop takes place outdoors and is very hands-on. Dress comfortably, wear waterproof shoes or boots, and bring your favorite pair of garden gloves.
PLEASE NOTE: Dahlia Dig Day will still take place in light rain, so come prepared for the weather! However, if heavy rain is expected and conditions would prevent us from safely digging the dahlias, the workshop will be moved to our rain date of Sunday, October 25 from 11AM–1PM.
