What a breath-taking place! I wish I could plant 50 dahlias like this and not stake them... Mine are packed tight, and even with mounding, staking, and corralling, they topple and snap in our strong winds, which come from every direction. This location must be well sheltered! I look forward to the day that more plant varieties available in the US and UK become available in New Zealand!

[@lindaswedenlifestyle]

Thank you so much for taking us this place... so amazing different variety of dahlia. Im so excited to plant my 2nd time a dahlia lovers this comming soon🙏🌷 new frend is watching &have a great weekend 🌸🌷👍👌🔔

[@InTheGardenWithClaudia]

Aww thank you Linda!! I can’t wait to go back. 💗

[@darinbennett3638]

Absolutely beautiful...thanks for taking us along on this tour. It makes it difficult to choose which ones to grow in our garden but the great thing is that you can't go wrong with Dahlias!

[@InTheGardenWithClaudia]

I totally agree Darin. In the new video I posted I definitely noticed some new ones that I just had to add to my list. 🥰

[@Traveltoppereu]

Hallo, dahlias are always beautiful to see. In the park not so far from our house is a large dahlia garden. We like to walk through it in the flowering season. All those colors and shapes. You also have beautiful specimens in your garden. Thanks for the video. Greetings from Eddy from Mechelen (Belgium)

[@MommaFromScratch]

Wow 40 acres of beauty!! Thanks for taking us

[@InTheGardenWithClaudia]

Isn't it insanely beautiful!? I'm happy I get to share this space with you guys. 🙂

[@gardenhighlightsworm]

Thank you for this video because where I am we are under several inches of snow and I am getting cabin fever, the beautiful scene of dahlias is giving me hope of spring.

[@InTheGardenWithClaudia]

Well that just made my day! I completely know how you feel. Although we don’t get much snow here in the PNW, we do get a lot of rain. It’s finally stopped and we have some dry days. I love looking back at these tour videos, it reminds me the season is coming. 💕 Thank you for your sweet words.

[@ramibu239]

Aaawww, that brought back so many happy memories of past visit! When I saw the road you were on driving to Swan's I said "is she gonna go on the fairy???? YES! She took the fairy!!!!"🤗🤣🤣🤣 It's so sad that they had to cancel the festival this year, but I am so glad that they at least are still opening up the beautiful gardens for tours. Saw quite a few old friends that I'd like to reacquaint myself with - & quite a few that I might just have to get to know!!!! Oh good grief, Claudia!!! Look what your doing to me?! Your giving me the Dahlia bug allover again!!!!😅 My favorite part of their festivals was always going down into the cellars & seeing all the floral arrangements! There were so many & it was just spectacular!!! The gift shop I have been seeing in their newsletters & it wasn't there when we used to go (but looks like they have some really neat Dahlia themed things), & that's probably because that's where the original owners (the parents - the Gitts - lived). I was wondering what building that was in, if they had built one or what.🤷‍♀️ So thanks for showing us!!!😁👍

[@InTheGardenWithClaudia]

Aww!! I’m so happy you enjoyed this video!! I was thinking of you when we were there. I just thought, wow this was hers and her families world, I know she’s going to love seeing all these Dahlias again. I’m sad about the festival too, but super happy they’re open to the public. 🥰 If they end up doing the festival next year and you happen to go, you have to tell me so we can go on the same day. 😍 You’re the expert, I’m sure you you’d teach me something that I didn’t know before. 🤗

[@ramibu239]

@@InTheGardenWithClaudia another disappointment of them not having the festival also is that they usually had experts on hand giving short classes or demonstrations on how to grow Dahlias (because so many visitors come & then also want to become involved in growing). Such as how to divide your tubers, storing them, etc.

[@rondatignor2300]

What a gorgeous tour. It was so special knowing this is where my gifted dalhias came from. It looks like mine will be blooming in a few more weeks. I will send you pictures 😊

@@InTheGardenWithClaudia Just a few were Mai Tai, Cheers, All that Jazz, Carolina Wagamama and Chilsons Pride, my first time growing this year in the UK, I bought a small batch of eight, planted them all up, a few day later I then watched a Swan Island Dahlias q and a session and following their advise emptied all my post and re planted deeper, astonishingly they all had roots and had started sprouting but I buried them under four inches of soil. I presume like everything we grow that’s the easy bit, keeping all the bugs and animals off is the difficult bit once their planted out.

Did you see much staking there?

They actually don’t stake their dahlias. If you look closely, they almost create a berm around each one so that they don’t need to stake. I think because they also plant them closely it helps them from leaning over.
