🎉 Blooming News! 🥳

Our society has an exciting new project underway! Beth, the garden manager at Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC (SHB) has generously given us a dedicated space to grow dahlias inside their brand-new Sensory Garden!

Yesterday, we officially planted 9 beautiful dahlias—each one carefully chosen to represent a different dahlia classification!

✨ A Heartfelt Thank You
* To the amazing members who donated the tubers to make this happen.🌿
* To Sherly, who will be stepping up to manage our new dahlia display. 👩‍🌾

These 'Verda' dahlias are absolute perfection. 🌱 Grown by the dahlia guru herself, Sara Newman! 🤍

Honoring the brave this Memorial Day weekend 🇺🇸

As we pause to remember the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, we hold their families close to our hearts. Because of their sacrifice, we are blessed with the peace to gather, tend our fields, and watch another beautiful North Carolina dahlia season take shape 🌱

Every bloom in our garden serves as a reminder of the traditions and freedom we are privileged to carry forward.

Wishing our entire Central NC dahlia community a safe, reflective, and peaceful holiday! 🌸✨
