San Leandro Dahlia Society is a group of people who love dahlias and want to share that love with the world. Well, at least with the people in the East Bay. Our members come from the San Francisco area, around San Leandro, and as far away as Brentwood and Modesto. We share successes and failures as well. Wondering about a tuber sale? Well, actually it was an online sale and is over. Sorry - hopefully we'll be back to Root Park next year. Wondering about a 2020 dahlia show? All American Dahlia Society events are cancelled for 2020, so there will be no show this year. We are sad and yet know it is for our health and safety .... and the health and safety of our neighbors ... you. What's happening in your garden? Let the experts help you solve some of the garden problems. 
Most growers have dug and divided their tubers by now. Others wait until March and replant as they go.

Dahlias are growing!!!
June and July in the garden are great times. AS you can see from the photos above, some dahlias are just starting to grow while others area about ready to bloom.
It's the time to be grooming your dahlias. Click here for the video on caring for the dahlias. Look for the video called disbudding, supporting dahlias. Get the weeds out. Add compost. . |
