Flower Share Week 1

. The first dahlia bloomed on Saturday; the first of 75 specimens in the garden border, which will soon be awash with vibrant colors and textures and a romance that only dahlias can provide. These will be the main attraction throughout the season, but I'm not sure you will see them this first week. Inside the garden, the snapdragons are starting to pop in sunset shades, alongside moody "black ball" bachelor buttons, which the bees have been enjoying since early spring when the first volunteers started to bloom, self-seeded from last year. In addition to these, you can expect to enjoy some "bunny tails" grass, which is perhaps the cutest plant I've ever seen, along with a few other surprises. I'll be hanging out at Frey Family Farm on Wednesday, and I can't wait to meet those of you who will be picking up there!  -Clare
