Cultivating an urban floral oasis...

We are a family of 5 (myself, my husband and our newborn son 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 we now grow around 1200 plants. Another passion of mine is hybridizing new dahlia cultivars which is a process over several years.

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