The beginning

The Story of
Dilly Dahlia

“You’re always dilly-dallying.”

Growing up, I was late for school most mornings. And nearly every one of those mornings, I’d hear my Mom’s voice from the kitchen: “You’re always dilly-dallying!”

In the summer of 2025, I planted a garden to remember my Mom, who passed in 2024. I never had a green thumb. She, on the other hand, could grow just about anything. Somewhere along the way, it felt like my Mom sent me her green thumb.

Whenever I’m in the dahlia garden, it feels like time spent with her. I hope these flowers bring you as much joy as they’ve given me.

The garden

Straight from
our garden.

More than fifty varieties of dahlias bloom throughout the season, grown here in Sonoma County and gathered by hand.

Each bouquet follows the garden—what is open, luminous and ready to share. No two weekends look quite the same.

From the garden

Color shifts with the season.

The garden changes each week. The bouquets do too—different colors, different shapes, and always whatever is most beautiful that morning.

White, blush and magenta dahlias gathered together

No two days look exactly alike, which is part of the joy. Every bundle is gathered by hand and shaped by what is blooming that morning. Dahlias have a vase life of 3-5 days. I provide plant food with each bouquet but please try to change the water daily.
