Dahlia Show
Bachman's Heritage Room

Dahlias are much easier to grow than most people think. A few of these plants grown in your back yard will have your neighbors total attention from late-July all the way to the first frost. When your perennial colors are fading, Dahlias are just beginning to produce their colors. The MN Dahlia Society will be hosting their annual Dahlia Show and expert growing advice will be available throughout the show. It's easy to spend $50 per year on annual flowers. Why not include $15 worth of Dahlia tubers in your Spring budget next year? Bring your camera! You are going to be shocked with awe by the beauty of these blooms.
