In January, Triple Wren Farms will turn nine years old. When we look back at what we have accomplished in less than a decade, we are very proud to see the results of our hard work, and diligent planning, but those are not the only two ingredients to our success. We have been deeply blessed by God’s grace and by the generosity of friends and colleagues. 

We have big plans for Triple Wren, but one thing that we are passionate about formalizing, even before our business is more established, is a tradition of gratitude and respect for the original creators of the dahlias we grow and sell to gardeners around the United States.

We’ve been given an incredible heritage of dahlia beauty to use and enjoy, and we want to express our thankfulness to the hybridizers of the dahlias we grow and sell. To this end, we are establishing a new Triple Wren Legacy Collection of dahlias.

The dahlias in our 2020 Legacy Collection were hybridized by growers right here where we farm, in Whatcom County, Washington. In keeping with the core values of Triple Wren Farms, we intentionally seek to honor the rich heritage of dahlia gardening and breeding, beginning right here in our own backyard by:

1. Making more varieties from local hybridizers available to a wider audience, and

2. By being an industry leader in standardizing a royalty payment program for these original creators.

This means that we have listed the names of the dahlia hybridizers on each Legacy Collection dahlia description, and that we pledge to give back a portion of sales from the dahlias in this Legacy Collection directly to the original hybridizers.

To the original creators who have walked before us, we say from the bottom of our hearts: thank you. We appreciate you. We value you, and your work, and the legacy you are leaving us to enjoy. 

We at Triple Wren are passionate about sharing beauty, and about doing good in our industry by not only the way we grow, but by the way we help others grow. It is our plan to expand the benefits of our Legacy Collection in the coming years, first to all of Washington (the state in which we farm), then the broader Pacific Northwest, and eventually even further afield.

Thank you, faithful customers, for enabling us to establish this honoring tradition and for your support of our family farm!
