The Cherry Festival was a fun event, sharing our love of the dahlia with anyone who was interested.  Plants and tubers were available for sale.  

We meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 7 pm at the
Church of Christ 
601 MacArthur Blvd.
​San Leandro

Our meetings include some business and a great program to encourage, demonstrate, or teach methods of raising more beautiful dahlias.  Dahlia related questions are always welcomed. January's meeting will be a social potluck.

FUN FACT:  The dahlia has been the official flower of  San Leandro  for the past 99 years!  Since August 22, 1927!!!
This little critter  is a very BAD BUG!!!  It's called diabrotica or cucumber beetle.  They are herbivores, meaning they eat our plants, especially our dahlia flowers.  There is no easy way to get rid of them.  Early in the morning you can do hand to hand combat and squash them, one by one before they start to fly.  Insecticides don't seem to work.  If one flower is full of them, cut the flower and stick it in a bucket of water.  Diabrotica don't swim.

​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.  

What's happening in your garden?  Let the experts help you solve some of the garden problems.
