NEDS IS GETTING READY FOR OUR ANNUAL TUBER SALE ON 4/13/25. THANK YOU TO THE VOLUNTEERS WHO SIGNED UP TO HELP. WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR additional volunteers.

The 2024 NEDS Dahlia Show Results are HERE!

This past Sunday, our NEDS volunteers were hard at work dividing dahlia tubers for our annual tuber sale. A big thank you to our volunteers and to Volante Farms for generously hosting us in their wonderfully warm and sunny greenhouse, a welcome respite on a chilly Sunday. We divided most of our tubers and won't need to meet again on March 9th.
