Slow Flowers Show Episode 680V
Let’s throw a Dahlia Festival with Lisa Dailey of Cultivation, a Slow Flowers member and horticulture consultant based in Highland, North Carolina
Like me, so many of our Slow Flowers practitioners have careers rooted in horticulture. And today’s guest, Lisa Dailey of Highlands, North Carolina-based Cultivation, shares how she brings Slow Flowers to her community by melding landscape and cutting garden design and consultation with organic floral design. It all comes together for Lisa and her colleagues at this weekend’s Dazzling Dahlia Festival, the 14th annual celebration that includes a dahlia bloom competition, floral vignette installations throughout the community, workshops, bouquet and tuber sales, and more. Join me to learn all about the floral fun.
Lisa Dailey’s path to flowers is probably genetic, as she credits her grandmother and mother for teaching her and nurturing a love of nature.
As she notes, “having such pure intentional gardeners cultivate me, how could I be anything else but a horticulturist?” Lisa grew up in Savannah, surrounded by live oaks, camellias and azaleas, not to mention centuries-old gardens. She was equally influenced by the mountains of Highlands, North Carolina, where she spent childhood visits to family. Now, she spends time in both communities, while living and working year-round in Highlands.
With a bachelor’s degree in agriculture from the University of Georgia, Lisa spent much of her early career working in consumer gardening as an educator. In Highlands, she has returned to her horticultural roots through a consultancy called Cultivation, a business that combines all of Lisa’s areas of expertise -- gardening, landscape design, healthy soil and botanical floral design. She works with residential clients to enhance their gardens. But she is also deeply involved in programs to promote native plants and horticulture.
Lisa joined me this week to share how her love of dahlia growing has inspired her volunteer efforts to promote the Dazzling Dahlia Festival, a program of the Highlands Historical Society, which takes place this weekend, September 5-7th. There are many facets to this event, which began quite modestly as an exhibition of single dahlia blooms submitted by individual growers. Through the efforts of community volunteers, the celebration has exploded, especially post-COVID. “Flower Power,” the 2024 festival, includes dahlia competition for amateur and professional growers, a floral vignette invitational with installations throughout the community, plus music, storytelling, food, docent tours, and other community activities. Lisa invited fellow dahlia lover Kim Daugherty (Door-ty), to introduce us to the festival; and then we talk floral design, dahlia growing, and more.
Thanks so much for joining me today! Please visit slowflowerspodcast.com for Episode 680 to watch the replay video of my conversation with Lisa and Kim, including a video tour that Lisa filmed to show off her massive dahlia cutting garden. You’ll also find links and more details about the Dazzling Dahlia Festival.

    Super excited to see Comfrey getting the attention it deserves! Nettles too is great ( I agree Teresa!). To learn more about such 'botanic elixirs', check out resources on Korean Natural Gardening and The Lean Farm (book). Thank you Debra and Robin for the comprehensive 2024 Forecast...I am 100% on board and delight in the creative sisterhood happening across the flower continuum. To give back, here's my own little experimented with 5gal 'elixir buckets' last season at my flower + hemp farm - using rainwater/snow melt, plus chicken poop, banana peels, egg shells, apples, Comfrey, a bit of bindweed, and potatoes for microbe food. After two weeks under the stars and stirring the buckets daily, I then poured out about an 1" into empty 5 gal buckets and topped off with more rainwater from a cistern that captures it from the barn gutters. I drenched my rows early, and then again mid summer as I could manage it. Micro-drip Application via irrigation lines is an option too.

    Comfrey tea! I've been doing this with Comfrey with incredible results on my houseplants for many years. Dahlia Tubers LOVE it too. I learned this from from a bio-dynamic grape grower ;) Also, use nettle tea for an incredible fertilizer and antimicrobial for seedlings. Great information Debra & Robin!
