Growing Dahlias: Dividing & Planting for Success | Tuesday, April 21
Date: Tuesday, April 21 • 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
If you’ve admired a stand of dahlias in full bloom, you know how generous these plants can be. With the right start, a single tuber can multiply into years of flowers.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn exactly how to divide and plant dahlia tubers for strong, productive plants—so you’re not guessing your way through the season.
Guided by Lisa Templeton of Lisa & Tula Flower Farm, you’ll gain practical, field-tested knowledge drawn from growing cut flowers here in Sonoma County. We’ll cover timing, choosing quality tubers, proper spacing, irrigation, fertility, and organic pest management—along with hands-on practice dividing tubers and identifying viable “eyes.”
In this workshop you’ll:
- Learn how dahlias grow and multiply from tubers
- Practice dividing tubers with confidence
- Understand planting depth, spacing, and support systems
- Learn how to avoid common dahlia problems
- Gain clarity on digging, storing, and preparing for next season
Each participant will take home 5 tubers from Lisa’s collection to plant in your own garden—giving you both immediate blooms this year and future tubers to divide in seasons ahead.
Whether you’re planting your first dahlia or refining your approach, this workshop will give you the knowledge and hands-on experience to grow beautiful, healthy plants year after year.
Cost: $115 (includes class instruction and 5 dahlia tubers to take home)
