Dahlia sales prep in progress 💪 All the dahlias Dahlia sales prep in progress 💪 All the dahlias are split, stored and counted. The dahlia room is on its way to being fully organised. Phew. While alot has been done there is alot still to do. I am busily working away on the catalogue, online listings and new garden tool and product range. Its definitely a marathon not a sprint with tuber sales. Don't forget to sign up for the email newsletter or you won't get notified when the tubers drop! You definitely don't want to miss out on our biggest range ever. Sign up at www.mountjoycottage.com.au I can't wait to show what you all what we've been working on Kirsten Xx #dahliagrower #tubersale #comingsoon #microflowerfarm #australiandahlias #smallbusiness #mountjoycottage

I have ventured into the realm of guest speaker fo I have ventured into the realm of guest speaker for dahlias, on behalf of the dsv and Mountjoy cottage. While it is a bit anxiety provoking, I have to say that the talks have been very well received and the feedback has been very positive and encouraging. With each presentation my confidence is growing. 🤗 This past Tuesday night I was warmly welcomed at @croydongarden club and it was a fantastic night. I was able to take along a big gnarly tuber clump and gave an in depth demo on splitting after the slide show and all attendees were able to take home a tuber from it. Guest speaking is quite new to me but something I have found surprisingly enjoyable. Sharing my love of dahlias and teaching others to grow them. If you know of a garden club or other society or event In need of a guest speaker feel free to contact the dsv or me directly and I would love to chat about it with you. I have included a few slides of my dahlia presentation which you might find helpful, especially the things you can be doing now slide. A big thanks Croydon garden club for having me. And @1marjie for the photos of me tuber splitting. As they are my local garden club I wouldn't be surprised if I make an appearance there again in the future. 😂 I actually had a wonderful evening. If you are looking for a gardening group and are local to Croydon definitely try them out. The last couple of days in hospital have been a bit rough but looks like I'm still on track to head home tomorrow afternoon. I'm really looking forward to cuddling Immy and sleeping in my own bed.

29. 29 surgeries. It's alot. This year has been b 29. 29 surgeries. It's alot. This year has been busy. 3 surgeries with number 4th today, while at home we are in the final stages of tuber splitting. This year we have grown and split more tubers than ever before. I am so proud of our crew and family. It's a true team effort. I have had alot of surgeries. That is certainly true. Long hospital admissions and painful experiences. It is hard and I don't always appreciate it but I do believe my experiences are shaping me into a better, stronger person. Without them I couldn't do all the wonderful things I am able to with the flowers even if I can't always see the purpose behind it. There has been a lot of beauty despite the pain. I never would have fallen in love with flowers without the accident and everything that followed. As they say "you can't have flowers without rain" Keep and eye out as news on out tuber sale will be coming soon, we probably won't publicly advertise the opening this year so please sign up for the newsletter if you want updates on the shop and to get the catalogue when it is sent.

This little guy was in a hurry to make an appearan This little guy was in a hurry to make an appearance 🫣 I found him in the garden last week when I was collecting dahlia seed heads before the rain. And today I found a completely confused gladioli flowering 😳 Jeepers! Flowers are incredible things and it always amazes me how they can keep suprising you in a new way each year. Have you found any bulbs flowering out of season for you at the moment? I'd love to know Xx #confusedbulbs #nottimeyet #gobacktosleep #quirkyblooms #flowersofinstagram #mountjoycottage
