What Makes a Blue Ribbon Bloom? A Dahlia Judging Talk with Peggy Boruchow Arnette and Libby Eustis

As part of the 16th Annual Dazzling Dahlia Festival, the Bascom is pleased to host an educational talk and workshop led by Highlands growers Peggy Boruchow Arnette and Libby Eustis. Tailored for both novice and experienced growers, this engaging session explores the full arc of the exhibition dahlia—from the final weeks in the garden to the show table in the upcoming Single Bloom Competition.

Participants are encouraged to bring two or three dahlias from their own gardens for hands-on guidance in selection, evaluation, and staging.
