We welcome anyone passing through our area to stop by and see the dahlias. The middle of August through late September is prime time in Colorado to check out the many dahlia blooms. Please just give us a call and set up a time to stop in. Also, visit our website to see pictures and check availability. To the best of our knowledge the tubers are true to name and disease free.

To our returning customers and also to those ordering for the first time, thank you for supporting our family farm. Also, thanks to our parents and the Colorado Dahlia Society members for their support. We wish everyone a safe and wonderful holiday season and a prosperous 2012 dahlia year.
