6. Deborah Virgovic, Gardener in Bow
I resisted dahlias for a long time, but a friend and neighbor wore me down. With help from my mum, Nancy, we dabble in dahlias (only our second year!).
We planted over 35 varieties in 3 raised beds in my garden in the woods.
Now we’re HOOKED! We do this for fun, for the beauty, and to share with friends.
At this year’s event, Deborah and Nancy will be offering:
- Over 25+ varieties of dahlia tubers
7. Sarah Dobrinen (Dolce Flower Farm)
I've been growing dahlias as a hobby for the past 10 years and 4 years ago decided to turn it into a business.
I grow 400 varieties and a couple thousand plants and am expanding this coming season to 600+ varieties.
At this year's in-person dahlia sale and swap, I will be sharing about 50+ varieties of tubers and 20+ varieties of dahlia cuttings.
I grow in north Sedro-Woolley and enjoy having people come visit my dahlia farm when the dahlias are in full bloom!
8. Nicole Fields, Sedro-Woolley gardener
I’ve been growing dahlias for six years and love sharing them with fellow gardeners.
This year, my very tolerant partner would be so grateful if our home office, garage, and greenhouse weren't packed quite so full of cuttings, waking tubers, and general gardening mayhem, so I'm joining the sale!
I’ll have both cuttings and tubers available, including some common favorites and a few harder-to-find varieties.
I'll be selling and trading at the sale and I'm looking forward to connecting with other dahlia lovers!
