January News

Many Thanks to all the members of the Central Coast Dahlia Society meeting this last Tuesday evening.  A big thank you to our gracious host Barbara Bullock, for offering her home to us.  We had about twenty members in attendance; not bad for a dark and cold January evening!  Another thank you to member Carol Moore for supplying us all with reusable nametags, they are a nice touch and very helpful.  The highlight of the evening was a presentation and talk on taking dahlia cuttings by Cory Kelso.  We hope to continue the conversation and demonstration at next months meeting with actual real sprouted tubers and dahlia cuttings.  I hope some of our members will consider attending the Pacific Southwest Dahlia Conference on Saturday February, 22nd at the Los Gatos Lodge. It is an excellent opportunity to meet dahlia growers from all over our state.  There will be several lectures, presentations, and discussions about dahlia growing, showing, and hybridization.  Following the discussion is a reception, banquet, awards ceremony, and excellent raffle.
