Dahlia Tuber Workshops - 2026
Master the Art of Dahlias: Free Hands-On Dig & Divide Workshop!
Ever wondered how professional growers keep their dahlia collections thriving year after year? The secret lies in the overwintering process. Join us at Idle Time Gardens for an educational, hands-on masterclass where you will learn the exact step-by-step techniques for digging, cleaning, identifying "eyes," dividing, and safely storing dahlia tubers.
This workshop is designed to give you the practical knowledge and confidence to protect your investment, successfully multiply your collection, and save money on future plantings. As a bonus to jumpstart your garden next spring, every participant will receive a clump of tubers to take home and enjoy!
