Gardeners, Do the Hard Things

What if We never started?
Sometimes I wonder, “What if we never started? What if we didn’t take the risks, embrace the hard days, run towards the scary parts? What if we had missed out on all the beauty and joy and thrill of growing a business that is this special??” Thankfully…. I’ll never...

Dahlia Color Theory
I’ve been obsessed with color theory over the past year or two. After growing up in a matchy-matchy era of design, I didn’t really know what *I* liked.Turns out, analogous colors (like these ombré shades of pink, adjacent to each other in the color spectrum) make my...

Pinch to Keep Dahlias Blooming Consistently
https://vimeo.com/730008379 We pinch our dahlias to achieve a consistent flow of blooms throughout the season. One of the biggest benefits of growing dahlias is their “cut & come again” trait, but this quality really only exhibits when young plants are properly...

Ombre photo backdrop
https://vimeo.com/731492058 I’ve had an idea floating around in my head for over a year, and today I finally took time to play with it. I grabbed this old door that we replaced when we fixed up our farmhouse and painted a “first draft” ombre photo backdrop. If you can...

https://vimeo.com/711321061 When it’s time to plant out the first-year seedlings from our ongoing Dahlia Hybridization Project, we trench a 8” wide x 6” deep trough in our field for each row of babies. Then we take each 4” pot with its soil and 1 seedling, and plant...

If you want to have bouquets that really shine, you need three key ingredients: focal flowers, filler flowers, and foliage. Obviously our favorite focal flowers are dahlias (in all their many forms!), but we have favorite filler flowers and foliage too. We've written...

As we continue in our Garden Planning for Success series, today we’re talking about spacing between plants in a growing area. Within your flower beds, spacing for your plants varies, but keep in mind that you can usually crowd cut flowers a bit more than you'd expect....
