Look at this gorgeous pathway made by students from the last mosaic class at Sky! 😍

Perhaps the best bit is that many folks walk into this class having NEVER worked with glass before. For the last few years, we’ve watched Bridget & Majken do an amazing job of turning mosaic beginners into confident, capable pros.

If you fancy yourself a few hours spent in creative flow that results in a beautiful, long-lasting piece of art, you can still join us! There’s space in our classes on September 19th and October 18th. :) We’d love to see you there.

We are just ONE WEEK (and about 11 minutes) out from the start of the very first Ikebana show hosted at Sky Nursery. The list of demonstrators has officially been published, and has us so excited to dive deeper into the world and history of Japanese floral design.

Get ready to learn and be inspired by a careful partnership of humans & nature!!! (Wait a minute… Isn’t that just like gardening?)

It’s free, and all are welcome; we hope to see you there 🥰

We’re pretty pumped at these new arrivals in the greenhouse… can you tell? 🪩🐈

Pansy & Viola season has officially begun! (Pro-Tip - pansy season at Sky usually follows the school year, September - May)

We’re also expecting a special delivery of Mr. Sato’s Elegance Pansies arriving sometime in September! Stay tuned (or sign up for our email when they get here!)

Happy almost fall, y’all.

One final look back at a few favorite moments from last weekend before we move on to other plants and pastimes... It was just SO magical. 🥰

(Amazing ‘En Plein Air’ artists are tagged in photos)

And, while all dahlias have officially left the premises until next year (see dahlia details below) there’s a lot more fun coming on the horizon, including a big Ikebana (Japanese floral arranging) show next week! Check our events page for details.

🌸 2027 Dahlia Show - usually happens the third weekend in August. Follow us here for updates!

🌸 2027 Tuber Sales - Sky gets a wide variety of tubers starting in February and into March. We are also proud to offer PSDA Tubers for sale at Sky, sometime in March.

🌸 2027 Plants - April marks the start of tiny Dahlietta plants arriving at the nursery. Larger plants arrive in June and last into early August

Thanks for joining us or following along at home, and we hope to see you at the nursery as this season of festivities continues..

It’s been an honor and a pleasure to meet and chat with so many amazing people from all over the Northwest today. Whether they’ve been dahlia people for 50+ years or just ‘converted’ an hour ago, there’s been a strong, shared sense of joy and beauty among everyone who’s wandered the greenhouse today.

Thank you to the hardworking and brilliant Sky staff, to the PSDA team for your amazing passion, organization and expertise, (looking at you, Anne Maria, and Roe, that dahlia wall is a masterpiece!) to the amazing live painters and photographers that have captured this event, and to each and every person who came to celebrate the beauty of dahlias together.

Whether you came from Spokane, Portland, Canada or two minutes away, your perspective and excitement has been a delight to share in. This 50th Dahlia Show at Sky has truly, already been SPECTACULAR!

And it’s barely half over! The show is open until 6 today, and from 9-4 tomorrow (free dahlia class at 2pm) If you haven’t ever seen the Dahlia Show before, THIS is the year!
