And this from a local flower grower in the The Old Farmers Almanac righton!
Want advice from a REAL farmer? 💐 Melissa Brown runs a small-scale flower farm called Bee Merry Farm in Skagit Valley, WA, and knows what's what! She's here to tell you what to actually look for when buying dahlia tubers, where to source them from, and which varieties you can always rely on.
She says it’s common in dahlia circles to hear growers refer to dahlias as “workhorses” or “unicorns,” and the unicorns are typically what capture people’s attention when bloomscrolling on social media. But don't let their hype fool you! Expensive tubers don't necessarily mean better quality 💐
Happy Earth Day! 🌍️ We're going to celebrate by turning up the tunes. Time to serenade Mother Nature! 🎶 Which songs would you add to the list?
