Spokane Dahlia Festival
If you live in Spokane or the Inland Northwest, you owe it to yourself to go to the Spokane Dahlia Festival! It takes place on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Rosarium Garden Center.
There will be free presentations, vendors, workshops, food trucks, and, of course, the beautiful setting of Rosarium Garden Center. Guest speakers from the Inland Empire Dahlia Society will give presentations and don’t miss the dahlia display as well as the dahlia tuber sale!
Here is a link to all of the details: Spokane Dahlia Festival.
I’m excited to announce that I’ll be giving a presentation on “Organic Control of Flower Garden Insect Pests” at 10 a.m. in the white tent. Afterwards, I’ll be selling and signing my books. Be sure to stop by and say hello!
