Belinda's Bloomers

I’m beginning my adventurous project to see many dahlias I can grow by turning my house in Meadowbank into a mini flower farm! I’ve planted over 200 dahlia tubers and seedlings and am planning to be overwhelmed with flowers all summer! You’ll be able to buy flowers, bouquet subscriptions, buckets of cost-effective flowers for decorating your own events, and come along to pick your own. Flower fun!

WHAT'S GROWING IN MY FLOWER FARM?

Here's a gallery of all the dahlias I'm growing this season. Photos are of the actual flowers in my garden. More photos will be added as more flowers bloom!
About half of the dahlias I have are mystery surprises, so I can't wait to see what they are. But the ones I have planted specifically are listed below.

All Bouquets, Buckets, and Pick Your Own events will be different each week depending on what is blooming at the time.
Bouquets and Buckets use the big sized dahlias (Moody Dark, Bright, Pastel).
The dwarf dahlias are for cake decorations and mini posies.

And if you see some favourites that you must have in your garden, you can register your interest for tubers.
