Farmer Steph's "How to Grow Dahlias" takes you (anyone 10+) from tuber - to bloom - to harvest - to divide - to storage. There are helpful printables and step-by-step guides to make it easy and fun to follow along with Farmer Steph and the Farm Kids.
Farmer Steph is the founder of Farm to Table Kids where she lives the mission, "to help children find what lights their heart in Nature through organic farming, farm to table cooking, and nature crafting." Farmer Steph learned how to grow flowers from her grandfather, Jim, a WWII Navy veteran who came home from the war and grew pansies for our family's local plant nursery, McCue's Nursery. Now she teaches others the joys of connecting with nature through flowers, and play. Let's GROW together!

I hope you enjoy the gift of growing dahlias as much as I do! I started with 63 dahlias about 6 seasons ago and now I grow and store several thousand. The gift of dahlias grows as big as your heart can dream.
