Have you ever felt intimidated by the thought of splitting up your clumps of Dahlias?
One of the best and most exciting parts of growing Dahlias is that for every individual Dahlia tuber you plant in the garden in the spring, you are typically rewarded with a full clump of Dahlia tubers to dig up in the fall. It's wonderful to be able to easily expand your tuber collection from year to year, BUT, it can be intimidating to actually cut into those clumps of tubers, in order to expand your collection. Where should you cut? What exactly needs to be attached to a tuber to ensure that it's viable? When should you split your tubers? How should you store your tubers before splitting them, and after? What is the best way to store your tubers over the winter? How do we, here at the farm, pack up our tubers for winter storage?
If you've had any of these questions, join us for this workshop, where we will walk you through the step by step process of splitting your tubers, and we will show you exactly how we store our tubers for the fall. We'll set you up for success, with your own splitting and storage ahead of the winter.
Here's what we will cover in this workshop:
-How to split up your dahlia tubers, with a demonstration from our farm crew, and tubers for you to practice on.
-What makes a viable tuber.
-How to store your tubers for the winter
-How to monitor your tubers for disease.
-What NOT to worry about when it comes to Dahlia tubers.
What we'll provide:
-Dahlia tubers to practise splitting on
-Shears to use to spilt
What you'll take home from this workshop:
-Dahlia tubers to add to your collection.
-Knowledge and confidence in splitting your own Dahlia tubers.
Spring is right around the corner, and in a few short months we'll be planting tubers in the garden. Let's get ready for it together!
