Thanks again to everyone who came to the May dahlia tuber sale. In addition to raising almost $800 for our Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center, there will a lot more dahlias blooming in our town this summer!

It’s been an exceptional growing season, with lots of sun and rain, and the Dahlias for Seniors fundraiser for the SL-LFP Senior Center is off to an early start. The dahlias (my front yard!) are exploding about two weeks ahead of when they were expected.

Dahlias for Seniors is partnering again this year with Megan Kogut, savvy and community-minded owner of Shoreline’s own Ridgecrest Public House (520 NE 165th St, Shoreline 98155). Yesterday I made first delivery to the Pub, and you can pick up a bouquet seven evenings a week there, now through October, on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays shortly after opening.

And like last summer, in two weeks you can begin picking up bouquets for a donation at the SL-LFP Senior Center (18560 1st Ave NE, Shoreline 98155); deliveries Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays after about 10:30am.
