This weekend's "Stacy Boulevard Dahlia Bouquet Sale" will give the public a chance to purchase many of the beautiful flowers that line Gloucester's waterfront. It is also a familiar annual event that marks the end of the season.
On Saturday October 12th at 10 a.m. by the Gloucester public tennis courts, the Generous Gardeners volunteers will be making arrangements for sale to the public, offering hundreds of dahlia flowers growing in the community group's many public flower beds for sale to raise money for next year's work. There will be bunches of dahlia's in vases or plastic sleeves.
Organizers say the dahlias are spectacular this year, and encourage the public to head over to view the show of flowers before this event.
Floral arrangements will be sold in order, and none will not be set aside or pre-sold.
We have lots of daylilies that we just divided from the beds surrounding the Merchant Marine Anchor on the Boulevard. These are beautiful plants that we will be selling for $1 each, so amazing deals can be made on Saturday.
"We do expect the flowers to continue blooming, so if you cannot make this event, Antonietta will continue to make arrangements until first frost," wrote organizers. "After that we will be digging out the plants to store for the winter. We will not be selling tubers this fall, any extra dahlia tubers will be sold at our spring plant sale on May 17, 2025."
