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 physical show this year. We are working on a virtual show with the public voting for their favorite in each category. What's happening in your garden? Let the experts help you solve some of the garden problems.

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 bud while others are in full bloom. The white ones are called Kathy, an introduction from our own Curtis.
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. . |
We meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 7 pm at the Church of Christ (new location as of November 2019) 601 MacArthur Blvd. Our meetings include some business and a great program to encourage, demonstrate, or teach methods of raising more beautiful dahlias.
