Community Organizations: Dahlia Hill

D

ahlia Hill Society of Midland plants 3,000 tubers annually, with more than 300 unique varieties. This amazing garden is at the corner of Main Street and Orchard roads in Midland. It has long been an established destination for learning how to grow dahlias, taking photographs, resting from nearby rail trail activities, meeting with others, and enjoying the benefits of a nature setting.

The terraced garden is maintained by a community of volunteers beginning each June.

www.ourmidland.com

Four tall sculptures are displayed at Dahlia Hill in Midland.

During the blooming months of late summer through the first frost of October, the garden’s incredible tapestry of color is open to the public free of charge, seven days a week from dawn to dusk.

The garden was started in 1992 with tubers donated by Charles Breed and planted on land provided by Bill Fisher. In 1998, Dahlia Hill Society of Midland was established as a nonprofit to maintain and preserve this unique garden. Every growing season, Dahlia Hill’s tubers multiply providing additional tubers to be sold each May. This

fundraiser is a coveted event by local gardeners and many from around the state.

Two buildings adjacent to Dahlia Hill’s garden house the art of Charles Breed, who was a long time Midland resident and artist. His art is also found amongst the dahlias, which includes four large cast aluminum sculptures representing the seasons of the year.

Dahlia Hill Society’s website at dahliahill. org features the “Dahlia Finder” that provides gardeners a wealth of information about numerous varieties. The

website also contains information about growing dahlias and the benefits of nature on overall health and well-being.

Dahlia Hill Society is also expanding partnerships with other agencies in Midland and beyond.

To learn more about volunteer opportunities, art experiences, activities for youth and homeschoolers, and other Dahlia Hill events, follow on Facebook and Instagram. For additional information, call 989-6310100 or email dahlia.hill. society@gmail.com 19

At the same time, WMFC’s impact continues into adulthood through family support services, offering guidance, resources, and access to basic needs through the Food & Clothing Depot, helping to reduce barriers and stabilize families.

WMFC’s partnership with Senior Services of Midland County provides a location for the Greendale Upper Decks, enabling seniors to gather for meals, connection, and activities that promote health and well-being, again reinforcing the importance of community at every age.
