The Utah Dahlia Society is lucky to have two sisters as members and Megan and I were lucky to be able to tour their beautiful gardens today.
The Salt Lake weather is known to change overnight and it certainly has this year. We have had record breaking high temperatures, rainfall and so far an early fall with temperatures in the 60's already. Whatever the weather has been it has been a recipe for gorgeous dahlias. Each garden I have toured this year has had an amazing display and Jan and Alan's along with Elizabeth and David's gardens have been no exception.
Jan and Alan's walk way to their home has a fountain and many dahlias to greet you.
Show quality blooms are at every turn....
with many that were chosen to represent names for each person in their large family.
These dahlias are reaching for the sun growing to probably 8 ft. topped off with gorgeous blooms.
Jan and Alan are a gardening team and their efforts show in the variety of plants that make a colorful display in the front of their home.
Dahlias do play well with others after all;)
Heirloom beans, tomatoes and other vegetables add to the mix.
Maki welcomes us to Elizabeth and David's garden.
Their home is decorated with a show stopping garden as well.
They have found that darling garden trellises make great supports for their dahlias.
Elizabeth and David share a love for music and flowers.
Thank you Jan, Alan, Elizabeth and David for sharing your lovely gardens with us today. What a treat!
