Right now, as you are preparing to plant your dahlias, is one of the best times to set yourself up for success. Whether you are growing dahlias for the first time, expanding your dahlia patch, or reconsidering where you planted them last year, a little thoughtful...
For many years, Triple Wren Farms sold tens of thousands of cut dahlia stems each season. In those days, our summer and early fall rhythm was built around harvest mornings, buckets of cold water, bunching stations, cooler space, wholesale orders, grocery deliveries,...
We're super excited to announce that Triple Wren Farms has officially expanded into Canada! This year, Steve and Sarah are beginning to build what we hope will become a truly beautiful, thriving Canadian flower business that will eventually bring all our amazing...
Have you ever made a dahlia flat lay (aka "flatlay" according to Cambridge Dictionary, but I usually stick with two words here)? It's easy to do with your extra blooms or "deadheads." Your flowers don't even need to look great on the back for this project! They just...
At Triple Wren, we plant thousands of dahlia plants in the ground each year. Despite our long rows and larger scale production, we still plant every tuber and rooted cutting by hand! We check every plant for pest damage and disease on a two-week rotation throughout...
Every year, we co-plant thousands of beautiful annuals in our dahlia fields! We plant them between the dahlia varieties, often blocking them by color (so fun!), which gives us a “hard stop” between dahlia varieties at harvest time. Not only are the annual flowers...
Our first days of learning to farm were spent in a beautiful apple orchard. It was a gift in so many ways, and we learned so much about farming a monocrop on acres and acres of land. One big lesson we learned was that the primary crop was happier and healthier when we...

We plant dahlias in a double row, 12” apart in both directions. We used to use four t-posts and baling twine to make a box around our dahlias. We'd put two t-posts every 20 or 25 feet down our 200 foot rows and then we'd use baling twine starting at 12 inches off the...
In the early days of Triple Wren Farm, we used to sell thousands of dahlia bunches every week to wholesalers and grocery chains. I well remember the days when I used to deliver buckets of flowers out of the back of our station wagon! If you are looking to expand into...
