Legacy Dahlia Hybridizers: Glenn Gitts

Within our Dahlia Legacy Program, we’re honored to feature several different dahlias from hybridizer Glenn Gitts, who lives and creates right here in Whatcom County, Washington state. 

Despite his obvious current love for creating and cultivating dahlias, Glenn hated flowers as a child… because he hated weeding! Growing up on a farm meant he had to work in the family garden, including his mother’s flower garden, and it was not his favorite task. However, as he got older, Glenn stayed to work in agriculture. He and his brother farmed several hundred acres together for years before Glenn began a second career at a local refinery.

At Triple Wren we grow out hybridizers’ creations on a large scale and market their dahlias to our customers all over the U.S. and Canada. This lets hybridizers keep on creating while we do the selling and cultivating, giving them more time to make more beauty to share in the world.
