Making the most of your Michigan summer should include going to places that embrace Michigan’s farmland, and the wonderful growing season we have here. Dahlia Acres farm in Hudsonville, MI is a great place to have that experience. You’ll walk away with more than memories because you can also pick and buy your own flowers, with over 50 varieties of dahlias, there’s a lot to choose from!
In addition to stopping by to pick flowers, Dahlia Acres also has an event called “Bouquets & Bottles” (which I hear is a HUGE hit), here’s some info that I picked up from their website:

Free Dahlia Care Tips from Dahlia Acres
Dahlia flowers come in a variety of colors and shapes. They are beautiful blooms but do require more care than other flower types. We want to share our dahlia care and handling tips.
- Dahlias will hydrate better in warm water. Make sure your vase is clean and filled with at least 3”-4” of warm water.
- Carefully separate the stems and remove any lower foliage that would fall below the water line.
- Give each stem a clean diagonal cut. Cut at least 1” off each stem and quickly place in water.
- Recut the stems and change the water daily. This will prevent bacteria from forming and clogging the stems.
- Keep dahlias in a cool area, away from direct sunlight.
