Overwintering Dahlia Tubers

This workshop will discuss the basic issues surrounding successful tuber storage in a New England climate.  Topics covered will be digging,  requirements for storage, and tips to make sure your tubers emerge in the spring ready for planting!

Rebecca Klingebiel lives in Kent, CT where she has been an enthusiastic organic hobby gardener for nearly three decades.  She has her BS in Biology with a focal point in plant genetics.  Beginning with a small vegetable garden to help feed a young family, her plot has transformed to a large flower garden with a few vegetables.  She has been growing dahlias for about 14 years and successfully stores over 200 individual plants every year to protect them from the harsh CT winters.  Without access to the benefits of large scale climate controlled storage, there is still hope to keep these beauties alive over the winter!

Proceeds support the operation and preservation of the non profit Dewey Memorial Hall, an historic community and arts center in Sheffield since 1887.

ASL interpretation services are available for the workshops if requested prior to September 1st by emailing deweyhalloffice@gmail.com. This service will be offered subject to interpreter availability.
