Our #compostheap has its flowery coat on each time we deadhead (keep going with that task btw, still plenty of colour to come from these amazing plants). #dahlia #dahliagarden #nationalcollection #summergarden #flower #cutflower #soil #soilhealth #reuse #recycle #colour

Pastel heaven at the National Dahlia Collection this evening. Everything was deadheaded hard in preparation for the rain forecast 🥳

See you later 5-8pm. Hope your gardens are refreshed after the rains. I’m expecting some soggy deadheads that will need to be removed this evening 😊. Absolutely not complaining. Dahlia in the pic is ‘Hazel Bear’ #dahlia #dahliagarden #dahlialove #summergarden #rain

I’m enjoying these single bloom, bud vases on our picnic benches! So many of us picking dahlias and bringing them into the house, how do you display yours? A favourite vase? Jug? Jam jar? I’m no florist but love trialing colour combinations. #dahlia #dahlialove #dahliagarden
