Dahlia Tuber Workshop

Bear Creek Farm is delighted to welcome to our Dahlia Tuber Workshop, returning for another inspiring year. This half-day gathering is designed to remove the uncertainty surrounding dahlia tuber care and storage, transforming what might feel complex into clear, practical steps. Together we will explore the full cycle of tuber handling—from lifting them out of the ground to preparing them for winter rest—so that the glory of late summer dahlias is never out of reach.

Because tuber storage can vary depending on your conditions, you’ll also receive guidance tailored to your particular situation — one of the advantages of learning in a small, attentive group setting.

• Division Techniques
  Step-by-step exploration of different ways to divide clumps, with discussion of how methods vary by purpose and preference.

• Storage Solutions
  Practical guidance on storage across different climates, homes, and resource levels. Learn what matters most—and what you can adapt.

• In-Depth Discussions
  Should you leave tubers in the ground or lift them? When is the best time to divide? How do you ensure vitality through winter? We’ll walk through these questions together.
