You have found the website for one of New Hampshire's most lovely dahlia farms!  Please take a moment to peruse my gallery of pictures of gorgeous dahlias all grown right here on the farm, and arranged by the Dahlia Lady, pictures of the gardens themselves, (maybe with a few kids wandering into view) and the vibrant presentation I make at the Norwich Farmer's Market in Norwich, VT.   http://www.norwichfarmersmarket.org/   If you would like to learn to grow dahlias with similar success, check out my Growing Instructions page.  And for a selection of the plumpest, healthiest, hardiest tubers around, check out Tubers Available.


2010 was a difficult year for By Design Dahlias.  2011 was a great recovery year, and 2012 should have us back to full volume.  Overwinter storage looks like only 20% lost; that's not a bad percentage considering how mild a winter it was.
Strangely, the winds and rains of hurricane Irene had very little effect on the health of the crop.  The plants thrived in the wet and sunny weather preceding the storms, and did very well with the long season.  I was almost selling dahlias on Halloween!

I continue to struggle to keep this website updated regularly. I would love to use it as a way to stay in contact with my customers.  However, I am not fluent in web design, and it's a challenge for me.  I am making an effort to present you with my entire spectrum of offers as soon as possible. At this point I can provide you with information regarding location of the farm or nursery, a sampling of the cut flowers available, some info on purchasing and growing tubers and what farmer's markets I will be selling at!  I am very much in a state of learning about website construction, so please check back later if you don't find what you are looking for now!  And use the contact information to let me know what you think!

In the meantime you can reach me at (603) 763-4210.  I am looking forward to hearing from you. You can also contact me at my business e-mail address:emily@bydesigndahlias.com  but don't expect immediate answers there.  I may have new and exciting technology, but I'm still a busy mom.

If you are not familiar with my company and your first contact with me is online: I would be pleased to hear from you! Please let me know what your needs and questions are, I will be more than happy to help.

In brief, you might like to know the following about By Design Dahlias;  I started selling flowers at the Norwich Farmer's Market back in 1999.  I gave the company a name in 2001, and I've been providing outstanding cut flowers and quality dahlia tubers ever since. My arrangements are known for their vibrant colors, my service is appreciated because the customer makes all the choices, and my tubers are big and firm and produce amazingly healthy dahlia plants and flowers.

Dahlia cut flowers if kept in clean water look lovely for 7-8 days or more.   They make fabulous gifts, and their colors really do sooth the soul.  Try a bouquet and see for yourself!  Go to our "Contact Info" page to find out what Farmer's Market I will be at next and when!
