Tired of city noise and concrete jungles? Longing for fresh air, wide-open spaces, and a slower pace of life? Then a stay at the Dahlia House might be just what you need! Forget stuffy hotels and impersonal vacation rentals – a farm stay offers a unique and unforgettable experience, connecting you with nature and the rhythms of rural life.

More Than Just a Place to Sleep:

A farm stay isn't just a place to lay your head; it's an immersive experience.

• Enjoying farm-fresh blooms: Pick your own flowers to take with you.

Choosing the right time to visit depends on your preferences. Consider:

• Summer: The fields are in full bloom! This is the best time to see all of the flowers in their glory!

• Winter: Cross country ski across the fields or take a quick drive to Mount Mansfield.

Making the Most of Your Stay:

• Book in advance: The Dahlia House has become quite popular, especially during peak season.

• Pack appropriately: Comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes are essential, especially if you plan to explore the farm.

• Be respectful: Remember that you're visiting a working farm, so be mindful of the flowers and the environment.

• Embrace the unexpected: Be open to new experiences and don't be afraid to get a little dirty!

A stay offers a unique opportunity to escape the everyday, connect with nature, and create lasting memories. So, pack your bags, leave your worries behind, and prepare for an unforgettable adventure in the countryside!

Dahlia Delights in Northern Vermont: Your Planting Guide

We LOVE Dahlias! Dahlias, with their vibrant colors and stunning shapes, are a gardener's dream. But in the shorter growing season of Northern Vermont, timing is everything. Planting too early risks frost damage, while planting too late limits their blooming potential. This guide will help you achieve dahlia success in our unique climate.

Understanding Northern Vermont's Climate: Northern Vermont experiences a shorter growing season compared to southern regions, with potential for late frosts well into spring and early frosts in autumn. This means careful planning is key for dahlias, which are frost-tender.

The Ideal Planting Time:

• The magic number is after the last frost. Consult your local weather forecast for the average date of the last spring frost in your specific area of Northern Vermont. Historically this is typically sometime between mid-May and early June, but it can fluctuate. It's better to err on the side of caution and wait a week or two after that predicted date to ensure the risk of frost is minimal.

• When the soil temperature reaches 60 degrees. Let the sun warm the soil so you don’t risk the tuber rotting.

Soil Preparation is Key: Before planting, prepare the soil thoroughly. Dahlias love well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Amend heavy clay soils with compost or other organic materials to improve drainage. Choose a sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Planting Your Dahlias:

• Start with tubers: Purchase healthy dahlia tubers from a reputable source, like us! Inspect them for signs of rot or disease before planting.

• Planting depth: Plant the tubers with the "eyes" (growing points) facing upwards, about 6-8 inches deep and spaced 18-24 inches apart.

• Staking: Dahlias can grow quite tall, especially the taller varieties. Stake them early to prevent damage from wind or heavy blooms.

Extending the Season:

Many gardeners start their dahlias indoors a few weeks before the last frost to give them a head start. This allows for a longer blooming season.

In short: Patience is key to growing dahlias successfully in Northern Vermont. By carefully selecting your planting time, preparing your soil, and taking precautions against frost, you can enjoy a stunning display of these beautiful blooms throughout your summer.

Vermont Grown Peonies: A Burst of Beauty from the Green Mountains

Vermont, renowned for its stunning landscapes and thriving agricultural scene, offers a hidden gem: exquisitely grown peonies. These majestic blooms, with their lush petals and intoxicating fragrance, are a true testament to Vermont's fertile soil and dedicated growers.

This post explores the unique qualities of Vermont-grown peonies, why they're so special, and how to purchase from Mooring Hill Farm.

The Vermont Advantage: Vermont's cool, crisp climate and long growing season produce peonies with exceptional color vibrancy and robust stems. Our commitment to sustainable farming practices further enhances the quality, creating blooms that are not only beautiful but also environmentally conscious.

Variety is the Spice of Life (and Peonies!): From classic blush pinks to vibrant reds and creamy whites, Mooring Hill Farm cultivates a diverse range of varieties, ensuring there's a perfect bloom for every taste and occasion. Consider the captivating Sarah Bernhardt, the delicate Festiva Maxima, or the bold and dramatic Karl Rosenfield.

More Than Just Beauty: Vermont-grown peonies are not only visually stunning; they also offer a delightful fragrance that fills the air with a sweet, heady perfume. This makes them perfect for bouquets, garden displays, and even culinary uses (check out some peony-infused recipes!).

Beyond the Bloom: The beauty of our peonies extends beyond their vibrant flowers. Their lush foliage provides attractive landscaping throughout the growing season, making them a rewarding addition to our fields.

The Mooring Hill Farm Difference: Peonies lovers rejoice! You can purchase these stunning blooms at the Farm Stand (101 Fishkill Lane, Morrisville) or online for shipment. We ship overnight Monday-Thursday so your blooms arrive in the best condition possible.

Celebrate Vermont's floral bounty with the exquisite beauty of locally grown peonies. They're a true representation of Vermont's natural splendor and agricultural excellence.

Transforming Landscapes: From Vision to Reality

Your outdoor space is an extension of your home, a place for relaxation, entertainment, and connection with nature. But turning a blank canvas into a thriving landscape requires more than just a green thumb; it demands careful planning, skilled execution, and a passion for detail. That's where landscape design and construction come in.

More Than Just Pretty Plants:

Landscape design is about creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing outdoor environment. It's a holistic process that considers:

• Your Lifestyle: How do you envision using your outdoor space? Relaxing by a tranquil pond? Hosting summer barbecues? Creating a children's play area?

• Your Budget: We work with you to create a design that meets your aesthetic goals and financial constraints.

• Sustainability: We incorporate eco-friendly practices whenever possible, from water-wise plantings to responsible material sourcing.

The Construction Process:

Once the design is finalized, the construction phase begins. This involves:

• Site Preparation: Clearing the area, removing debris, and leveling the ground.

• Hardscaping: Installing patios, walkways, retaining walls, decks, and other non-living elements. We use high-quality materials and build to last.

• Softscaping: Planting trees, shrubs, flowers, and groundcovers. Plant selection is key to creating a thriving and visually appealing landscape.

• Irrigation: Installing a sprinkler system to ensure efficient and consistent watering.

• Finishing Touches: Adding mulch, gravel, and other details to complete the overall look.

Why Choose Professional Landscape Design and Construction?

• Expertise: We possess the knowledge and experience to create a landscape that is both beautiful and functional.
