The garden to the right is 13 by 47 feet (5m X 18m), and generally referred to as Carroll's dahlia garden. It contains a decorative border and 73 dahlia plants. Carroll also assumes responsibility for everything else inside the fences. Note: The system for supporting the dahlia plants is not visible in most of these pictures and barely shows when they are visible. Click on support system to learn more. |

The garden in this picture is 18 by 43 feet (5m X 13m) and is generally referred to as Don's garden. It contains 107 dahlia plants and is next to the alley at the back of the lot. A sign on the fence says "Open Garden--Come In" and annually hundreds of guests take advantage of this invitation. |

Across the lawn from Carroll's Dahlia Garden is the Windmill Garden. Many small sized, single and novelty dahlias are planted here-and-there in the borders each year. |

The carpeting between the rows in the McAllister's dahlia gardens help to make paths "Visitor Friendly" (as demonstrated by grandson Zack). Another interesting feature of this garden is the unobtrusive "No Stake/No Tie" dahlia support system utilizing specially modified plant cages. Page 2 features wind and hail covers for the dahlias in the McAllister's 1998 garden. |
