You have found the website for one of New Hampshire's most lovely dahlia farms!  Please take a moment to peruse my own photographs of gorgeous dahlias all grown right here on the farm, and arranged by the Dahlia Lady, pictures of the gardens themselves, (maybe the crazy blue haired lady herself) and the vibrant presentation I make at the Norwich Farmer's Market in Norwich, VT.   http://www.norwichfarmersmarket.org/

What makes By Design Dahlias different? Well, first, I only sell to New England and NY. That started during Covid when Ag inspections were hard to come by. But I've kept it so to keep my customers close. Customer service is my top priority. I'm proud of my return customer rate, and selling quality tubers that I stand behind is what I want to be known for.

If you would like to learn to grow dahlias with similar success, check out my Growing Instructions page, or visit the Contact Info section for where and when I will be giving my next dahlia talk.  For a selection of the plumpest, healthiest, hardiest tubers around, you will want my Online Store.  The store is currently open. Many lovely varieties are still available, but many more will become available once again in April, when I have finished pulling tubers out of storage, inspected them, and selected the best to offer to my customers. You can still see the selection of what I have to offer, just overlook the "Sold Out" label. I tweak the website and build inventory all through the early spring, so check back for not just fewer sold out labels, but new added varieties!! To get yourself on my mailing list, so you can be alerted to the exact date when the inventory goes online, scroll to the bottom of the page and subscribe, or drop me a note in the Contact Info section. 

2025 was a tough year here at By Design Dahlias. Early season rains were follwed by a severe drought that caused even our spring fed drilled well to run dry. Pond water helped, but the plants were stressed. Flower production was still good, despite some powdery mildew, and the season ran well into October, though not long enough to hand out to trick-or-treaters.

Not knowing the rugged conditions in store, I bought way more new varieties than I had space for, and had to enlarge my garden. 535 plants went in the ground and cloth pots - which did so well last year, they had a come-back. It's a good way of keeping new varieties isolated, until they can be properly checked for health.
Thanks to some eager helpers in my "Digging Up Dahlias Workshops"(see contact page for more information on those!!), every single plant was dug up, carefully examined for disease, split with tools soaked in bleach between each plant, and safely stored away in my basement.
After 23 years of storing tubers, I have it to an art form, and thousands will come available for sale in the spring!!
