The Museum's Dahlia Show on Saturday was a big success with over 400 people attending to view the gorgeous flowers and to purchase bouquets to take home thanks to donations by our flower growers. Judges from the Portland Dahlia Society and the Seaside's Sou' Wester Garden Club presented ribbons to many of those that entered their blooms. Co-chair Teresa Taylor is standing near the breathtaking arrangements entries. Attendees not only enjoyed the blooms but wandered through the Museum's two building and learned more about Seaside's history, including the history of the Dahlia Show which started in 1909.
It was such a success that we're already planning next year's event for Saturday, August 21, 2027! Mark your calendar to enter your blooms and to wander the Butterfield Heirloom Garden at the Museum to see what your neighbors are growing.
