Dahlia Tuber Giveaway 
9 am
Blooms by Dragonfly, 176 S. Main Street

The Zionsville Cultural District is pleased to announce its second annual Dahlia tuber giveaway.  Thanks to the generosity of the Village Garden Club, dahlias will be made available as long as supplies last, starting at 9AM on Saturday, June 6th.  Distribution will take place at Blooms by Dragonfly, 176 S. Main Street, your local Zionsville florist available for your everyday floral needs, weddings and events.  Information on growing techniques will be made available as well. 

Begun in 2019, this initiative was created to bring attention to the town’s horticultural history when it was known as “Dahlia City”.  Two commercial nurseries were located in the Village, selling dahlias and other flowers to customers around the country.  One of the varieties created here was called, “Zion’s Pride”, which won its breeder, Fred Gresh, a Gold Medal at the
1933 Chicago World’s Fair.
The Zionsville Cultural District aims to encourage gardeners to grow dahlias as a way to beautify neighborhoods and highlight a significant segment of the town’s history.  Recipients of the free tubers will be asked to bring their prized blooms back in late summer, at a location yet to be determined, to share their form and beauty.

Dahlia Exhibition
Join us at Palette Community Art Center, 295 S. Main St., from 9 am-12 pm to show off your prized Dahlia bloom. 

​Thanks to a grant from the Zionsville Village Garden Club and the generosity of Dahlia expert, Alan Strader, over 100 tubers and plants were distributed for free to those wishing to give Dahlia growing a try.


​The exhibition is part of the organization’s Dahlia City Initiative which aims to bring to light the town’s former history as “Dahlia City”, when two nurseries in the village produced Dahlia tubers mailed to gardeners around the country.  

All are welcome to participate.  Educational information will be available on growing and overwintering Dahlias.  Everyone is urged to bring a bud vase or bottle in which to display their blooms, and to wear masks.  
For more information, please contact Mark Zelonis at (317) 258-2071, or visit the ZCD website at www.zvillecd.org.
