Whether you're wandering through our Dahlia field or just taking in the surrounds, the process is a delightful journey of discovery.
Creating your own bucket of flowers is not just an activity; it's an art form that allows personal expression. Each flower can represent a memory, a feeling, or a moment in time, making the bucket a reflection of your journey.
Once you’ve gathered your flowers, care for them by replacing the water daily, this not only prolongs their life but also gives you more time to enjoy the beauty you’ve collected. Whether these flowers adorn your home or are shared with friends, they carry with them the joy of creation and the peacefulness of time spent in nature.
Tips for Picking
Choose Fresh Blooms: Look for flowers that have just opened or are about to open. These will last longer once picked.
Bring a bucket: to transport your treasures home, one will be provided for you to pick your Dahlia’s treasures, and you will just transfer these over before you leave.
Tools: Will be provided for you to ensure the stems are cut cleanly, but please bring a pair of garden gloves if you want to.
Handle with Care: Dahlias can be delicate, so handle them gently to avoid bruising the petals.
Mix and Match: Feel free to combine different colors and varieties to create a unique bouquet that reflects your personal taste.
Making your blooms last: Warm water is better absorbed by dahlia stems than cool water, helping nourish the flowers more effectively. It’s a simple step that can significantly affect how long your dahlias remain radiant and eye-catching in their vase display.
Changing water regularly: Replace the vase water every 1-2 days. Clean the vase in hot soapy water before refilling to eliminate and potential bacteria
