Grower-to-Grower Tour All Things Dahlias


Explore the world of dahlias at Goose Creek Gardens, a family-owned and operated cut flower farm in Armstrong County, PA.

After decades of experience, Kate and Margie of Goose Creek Gardens will share their best practices for growing dahlias at this grower-to-grower tour and information session. We’ll take a tour of the 20,000+ plants and discuss flower and tuber production, harvest techniques, tuber storage, and sales outlets. The evening will wrap up with an ice cream social. Come with questions and be ready to discuss!
