Congratulations to all the medal winners!  A big thumbs up to Allen Manuel for winning two!  All the others have earned medals in the past and must have quite a collection, with the exception of Connie Young—Davis who I believe is receiving her first Hart Medal.  Connie is a very deserving winner, as is her winning entry.  Extremely hard working and an extraordinary exhibitor, Connie is also someone who can win your heart with her cooking.  She invited Steve Cox, who is from Australia to dinner and my husband and myself got to come along.  An amazing cook!  And her garden was beyond beautiful. 

This year, I was again amazed by the beauty within the medal winner’s entries.  We all owe them a big thanks for giving us something to dream about growing ourselves next season. 

Thanks to every one of the hybridizers who worked hard to get their scoring dahlias into our trail gardens.   We love your handiwork!  Thanks to our judges!  And a big thanks to the TG Directors and all their work crews!
