660 daffodils and $330 raised. 💛

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by on Friday and bought a bunch (or two) for Daffodil Day.

We sold an incredible 660 daffodils, raising $330 for the Cancer Society.

We couldn’t have done it without you. 💛

I used to think I had to dig up my dahlia tubers every year. But the more I garden, the more I realise I don’t have time for rules 😂

If your soil is well drained, your dahlias are happy and they overwinter successfully, you don’t need to lift them every year.

You can leave them in the ground and save yourself a whole lot of work.

No digging.
No washing.
No drying.
No storing.
No replanting.

Some gardeners lift their dahlias every year. Some leave them for several years. Both options work.

Stop gardening by rules. Start gardening by observation.

🌸 Want to learn more about growing dahlias?

We’ve got more Dahlia Growing Workshops coming up at Gina’s Garden, where we’ll share everything we’ve learned about growing dahlias in Nelson and Tasman.

Bookings for September are open on our website. 🌱

We finally have enough daffodils to pick, so we’ve put some bunches out at the gate!

We don’t have heaps just yet, but I thought I’d save them from the wet weather this weekend and share them with you instead.

Pop by and grab a little bit of spring for your home 💛

Looks like you miss dahlias as much as we do!

Our dahlia growing & dividing workshop at the end of August is officially SOLD OUT! 🥳

So… should we add another one? Or two?

We’re thinking mid-September and/or late September. If you’d love to come along, let us know in the comments!

I always had big dreams for Gina’s Garden when we moved here. I just wasn’t sure how we were going to bring them to life.
Over the next 18 months we are going to make some big changes to the garden. While I am super excited it means saying goodbye to a few flowers we love.
So let’s make the most of one last spring filled with Daffodils, Ranunculus and Peonies 🌼
If you have fallen in love with our spring blooms, you will have a chance to take a little piece of Gina’s Garden home when we offer some of our collection for sale.
Here’s to one last Spring, and always coming up with new plans!

Ok… there were so many people interested in a dahlia workshop that I think it’s time we lock one in… or maybe even two?! 🎉

We’ll keep the groups small and spend the afternoon talking all things dahlias – growing from seed, dividing tubers, and general care to help you grow beautiful blooms.

We even have a brand new table in the garden ready to host everyone. 🌸

What do you think about late August or September? It works nicely after hockey season and is much closer to planting time.

Who’s keen? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Winter has truely set in ❄️
The garden is surrounded by fog this morning and the dahlias have had a couple of frosts.
I’m thinking of lifting the dahlias this year and trying to arrange them by colour.
If I do lift them, who would be interested in coming to a dahlia dividing workshop??? We could start some seedlings and send you home with a bunch of tubers you can’t get anywhere else. Who’s keen? 🙋‍♀️
