Dreaming of Dahlias

Spring is here for certain and we're so grateful for the land and opportunity to grow dahlias. This summer/fall producer is one of our favorite blossoms, a proud usher of high summer and heat waves. We planted ours a few weeks ago and are starting to see progress! Below is a photo of the first dahlia buds this year at our urban plot at Pop!Farm.

This year we're growing dinner plate dahlias in that widely adored blush-cream hue again. Just for fun we sourced some unique varieties to test out and some more vibrant colors for Fall harvesting. Our neighbors are expecting quite a show! Like the South Americans they are, we have to wait until the dog days of summer to really see them bloom. Dreaming of summer time and dahlias until then. Wishing you an endless start to summer!

The New York Botanical Garden x Frida KAHLO

We are looking forward to attending this immersive exhibit at The New York Botanical Garden this summer and thought you might like to join us.  The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory has been reimagined as Frida Kahlo's very own Casa Azul in Mexico.  The NYBG is also offering special performances and activities during the evening in the conservatory.  These evenings al fresco are enhanced with live music, rare works of art and of course music, libation and performance art.  Tickets are available here

Saludos a Frida!
