As a novice home dahlia gardener, Melissa’s guidance and advice has been invaluable! Her workshops are fun and informative, all of the tubers I have purchased from her were healthy and thrived (as I gardener in the south, her varieties are more heat tolerant), and she has been beyond generous with her time in responding to my questions throughout the growing season. She has mentored me from a small plot of about a dozen dahlias to a lovely bed with over 100 dahlias!

Because she knows my gardening style, she has been my advisor through thick and thin. I watch her demonstrations, take the hands-on classes she offers, and fill our yard with flowers she recommends.
