Our second Christmas in July was a private winter

Our second Christmas in July was a private winter gathering for the wonderful teachers of Berrima Public School and what a night it was.

The fire glowed, the BBQ sizzled, hot potatoes disappeared fast, and marshmallows were toasted to perfection. Plenty of hot chocolate, plenty of laughter, and such a joy to see the farm filled with people even while the dahlias are still fast asleep.

A simple, heartwarming winter night.

Fresh Sawdust for Tuber Storage Now available at

Fresh Sawdust for Tuber Storage

Now available at The Dahlia Patch Flower Farm - Alpine NSW (Southern Highlands NSW)

We’ve brought in a large supply of fresh, clean, untreated radiata pine sawdust from Hayters Sawmill, a local sawmill committed to sustainable sourcing and eco‑friendly production. Their timber comes from responsibly managed forests, making this sawdust a gentle, planet‑friendly choice.

This batch is fresh, which makes it perfect for storing dahlia tubers. It’s light, clean, and free flowing, helping maintain airflow, reduce moisture issues and keep tubers stable through the resting season. If you’re dividing soon or preparing for storage, this is exactly what we use and we highly recommend it.

It’s also beautifully versatile for other farm and garden needs:
• Animal bedding for horses, poultry, goats
• Composting as an excellent carbon source
• Mulching garden beds
• Farm pathways and mud control

With permission from Hayters, we’re delighted to offer this directly to our Dahlia Patch community. Bulk quantities available for pickup at the farm.

Send me a private message via Instagram or text 0413057671 if you would like to order.

A small, sustainable way to support your garden, your tubers, and our local growing community.

How do you decide where to purchase tubers from?

How do you decide where to purchase tubers from?

Last year I was genuinely horrified by some of the stories I heard about people’s tuber orders with wrong varieties, poor quality and no support. So this year, I wanted to share a few things I personally look for when buying tubers for the farm.

• Previous experience
If a grower has delivered healthy, true‑to‑type tubers before, that history matters.

• Word of mouth
Friends, fellow gardeners and growers you trust often have real stories, good or bad about who they’ve ordered from.

• Reviews
Consistent customer feedback reveals patterns: strong growth, correct varieties, reliable communication.

• Experienced seller
Growers who dig, divide, store, and grow hundreds to thousands of tubers each year know their plants deeply.

• Repeat business
A big one for me. The best sellers value long‑term relationships and work to earn your trust season after season.

• Problem‑solving and honesty
When issues arise, choose growers who communicate clearly and resolve things quickly and fairly.

• Community reputation
Trusted growers show up for their community and stand by their work.

Tubers are an investment in your future garden. Choose growers who have earned their reputation through consistency, care, and integrity

I wish you all a fabulous growing season.

So this tuber looks good, right? It has a body, an unbroken neck, and a crown being all the things we usually look for.

But… not this time.
Swipe to the second and third photos and you’ll see tubers growing from another tuber. These secondary tubers might look plump and promising, but they’re not viable. They won’t produce a plant, and they won’t produce blooms.

A good tuber must grow from the crown never from another tuber. It’s a small detail that makes all the difference in the garden.

The last couple of days have been all about cuttin

The last couple of days have been all about cutting back the dahlias and digging out the dahlias in one of our top gardens. Now we’re just beginning to divide and look at those eyes! Swollen, plump, and full of promise for the new season.

It’s always a joy to divide when the eyes are so clearly viable. Slow, steady work and I’m thinking this season of dividing will take us about six to eight weeks.
