Annual Dahlia Show returns to Sky Nursery Aug 23-24

Puget Sound Dahlia Show in Shoreline Aug 23-24

Once again, Sky Nursery will burst out in a sea of color when the Annual Dahlia Show arrives over the weekend of August 23-24.

The Puget Sound Dahlia Association - the region's leading dahlia club - will spare no effort to bring thousands of dahlias to this event.

A special motive this year: the American Dahlia Society's National Show will take place in Tacoma (Greater Tacoma Convention Center) on Labor Day weekend. This rare exhibition regularly attracts many growers and dahlia enthusiasts from the entire continent and from abroad. 

Show hours at Sky are 9 - 6 on Saturday and 9 - 4 on Sunday. There also is a free presentation on dahlia cultivation (Saturday at 1:30pm) and visitors can meet with the dahlia experts at the PSDA info booth. Enjoy the perfectly-grown blooms, bountiful baskets and artful arrangements, take notes on which varieties to buy, and focus on photography, since Sky's vast greenhouse allows natural lighting to bring out the best color of these floral fireworks. 

Sky Nursery is just north of 185th and Aurora, offers free parking, and has its own website
