Dahlias: Following the Whispers

You know those little whispers you hear that say you should do something? They're always present but easy to dismiss. Growing flowers was that for me. I started with some planters full of native plants and moved on to zinnia and then dahlia. I listened to each nudge to expand and the flowers always delivered. 

I grow dahlia, zinnia, native plants, and other flowers on a hillside 1/2 acre in a Minnesota suburb, anchored by a 150 year old elm tree. I'm incredibly excited to share these flowers with you.

I have a passion for growing plants indoors over winter. Last winter I started dahlia propagation indoors. I learned all about taking dahlia cuttings and expanded my plants. It's work, but I really enjoy it. 

A little more about me: I'm an artist, a former tech leader and a trained Narrative Life coach. I'm always learning and these skills make me better at researching and growing dahlia. Life is fun and I think you should do all the things you're interested in, even if you have to put them down for a while. Just like dahlia, everything has a season. 

There's nothing else quite like dahlia, a little piece of life that we all steward and share. Welcome, I’m happy you’re here.
