"A highly colorful dahlia farm on the east edge of Petaluma with a short season (roughly late August to mid-October); on weekends you can roam rows for free. The operation grows more than 100 varieties across 7,000+ plants, including orchid, cactus, pompon, peony, and ball types; the largest “decorative” dahlias make dramatic statement blooms. Stems are available for purchase and are priced by size, making choosing difficult but rewarding." - Pat Tompkins
