Cultivating an urban floral oasis...

We are a family of 4 (myself and my husband with our dog and cat) in the city of Pittsburgh, PA. Being a plant lover from a very young age and growing indoor plants for many years, I decided to venture into outdoor vegetable gardening in 2020. That soon morphed into growing 10 dahlias in 2021 and now we grow around 300 plants.

All of the buying, planting, maintenance is handled by me (Shalini) while my husband helps with filling the raised beds with soil, admiring the blooms and coming up with names for dahlias I hybridize.
