Half Day Dahlia Workshop

A Morning Among Dahlias: Half-Day Workshop
Saturday, October 4, 2025 | 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.

As autumn begins to brush the landscape with its quieter tones, the dahlias at Bear Creek Farm hold their ground—magnificent, steadfast, and utterly unrushed. We invite you to spend a morning in their company. This half-day workshop is more than an educational offering—it is a deep breath, a moment of clarity, and a place where questions that have long lived in your hands finally meet their answers.

What Awaits You

In a world overflowing with information, there remains a rare kind of learning—one that only arrives through presence, through the soil, through story and observation. That is what we offer. Under the guidance of Bear Creek Farm founder Debra Kaye, you’ll walk the fields in their prime, learning not just what to do, but when to wait. How to see. Why a leaf turns, why a bud fails, and how to coax a reluctant beauty to bloom.

This morning workshop will unravel the mysteries of dahlia cultivation from the ground up: planting, pinching, watering, harvesting — and all the unpredictable moments in between. Whether you're trying to decipher why one variety thrives and another falters, or simply seeking a deeper connection with the garden, this time is designed to bring you closer.

Your Experience Includes

• A guided field tour with Debra Kaye, rich with firsthand innovative insights from deep observation and research;

• A comprehensive class that answers the questions the internet never quite does—the ones that come from watching, touching, and growing with intention;

• A thoughtfully prepared take-home guide, so the learning stays with you long after the last bloom;

• An exclusive discount on next season’s Bear Creek Farm dahlia tubers, to nurture what begins here;

• A small group setting, fostering honest conversation, curiosity, and generous exchange.

Who This Is For

• Floral designers, both aspiring and seasoned, looking to better understand the materials they work with from root to bloom;

• Gardeners and dahlia dreamers with questions too specific or too strange for Google, finally answered in full;

• Fellow farmers, seeking not just varieties or yields, but the subtler lessons that improve every season.

Come ready to learn, but also to feel—something about beauty, about resilience, and about what it means to be held in the company of dahlias as they give everything they have before the frost arrives.

Spaces are limited, and they do fill. We hope you’ll join us.
