About Us:
            Life is Great,
           People are Incredible &
           Gardening is Getting Better!

          You might remember Elkhorn Gardens!
          Ten years ago, I squatted down on a plant stake directly on my tail bone while working out in the dahlia fields and almost died. What are the odds of that, huh? We closed down for 6 years.
        After 8 years of severe pain, all alternative medicine, no surgery, no pain killers, I am now able to garden again. I have put the farm back together with the help of my husband.  I have to say it has been such a joy for me to have the strength to garden that we have many exciting new things happening. Such as:
I am continuing to landscape our beautiful 5 acres with the botanical gardens that were in the making 10 years ago, and have several other new flower crops maturing. 
        We are located out in North Monterey County in Central, California.
We have excellent stock, grown in a great sandy, sunny location. We currently have 500 varieties of dahlias.
         Among these are healthy tubers only, good for cut flowers, show, and border Dahlias, The Fabulous 50, Cream of the Crop, and we specialize in extremely current hybrids. And my personal list: The Wow List!
       We offer Dahlias that we truly enjoy and rate as top quality flowers. Anything not within this rating is removed from the gardens.
       We have a family run business, which is growing constantly. We love our flower farm and want you to be happy with our service as a tuber mail order and local cut flower business. We do not grow cuttings.
       Please keep your plant stakes in check. If it is in the dirt and not needed any more- take the time to pull it out. It's the plant stakes with no current purpose that will get you. You'll be glad you did.

As I have always said,
Let's Face it, if there is dirt, there should be dahlias!
And... If you've seen one tuber, you've seen them all!

Thanks for your patronage,
and for letting me be apart of the dahlia community at large.
With all my heart, I am so glad to be here!
Sincerely, Colleen

Colleen does all the tuber cutting.
She has processed 7000 clumps as below each winter for years. It is hard work that seems endless. They store in controlled cabinets
till spring shipping.
