Hello everyone, my name is Paul and I have been growing dahlias for exhibition since 1995.  During these years by meticulous study of the subject matter, yet equally by trial and error, I have arrived at conclusions, beliefs and methods I use in producing prize winning dahlias. Through my website I hope to encourage you to grow better dahlias, whether for exhibition or purely for the pleasure of having those beautiful blooms in your garden. I will share with you precisely the methods I use in growing dahlias for local and regional shows. I will be explaining why I believe a particular practice works for me, regarding such requirements as soil preparation; planting; watering; feeding; growing on and more.  I will also tell you the products I use for soil conditioning; supplementary feeding; pest control and so on.  If I name a particular product that is because I use that said product and am happy to name it here. 

Also through my website I hope to dispel the belief that all dahlia exhibitors keep closely guarded secrets, because I certainly do not and hopefully I can save you time and money in utilising products as I certainly have only to find them not suitable.  

If you are only interested in fancy latin names, brightly coloured fencing or silver balls in the garden with water endlessly pouring over them then this may not be the site for you.  However if you want hands on, honest to goodness dahlia growing advice in a language everyone can understand then you are in the right place. 

Please read on and I thank you for your interest ~ Yours, Paul
