GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR DAHLIA CLUMPS
We’ll teach you the most common mistakes new gardeners make that damage, injure, or totally ruin their dahlias while lifting and washing their tubers, before the clumps even get to the dividing table.
Then we’ll show you the best tools to use for precision dividing; techniques you can use to make it easier to spot the eyes in the fall and in the spring; and how to avoid spreading common diseases at harvest.
Most importantly, you’ll get to practice your hands on skills on real dahlias. You’ll practice on lots of OUR clumps first, then once you’re an expert, we’ll supervise while you divide your own.
This class is strategically timed so that you can learn with us, make your mistakes on our plants, then go home to harvest and store the fruit of your own gardens with confidence.
BRING YOUR OWN CLUMPS FROM HOME
If you have some challenging clumps you've already harvested, bring them with you and we will help you divide them to make sure you get the most out of your plants
TEN TUBERS TO TAKE HOME
Don't forget, your ticket includes 10 individually divided tubers to take home with you, a $130 value.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Casey Casperino, our talented farm manager, will be your instructor. Other members of the Sunset View Farm Dahlias family and crew may drop in to assist over the course of the day. Look for the embroidered overalls!
