Dahlia Garden, Long Island, NY

The other day I received a text with a few photos from cousins that were celebrating a wedding anniversary on the East end of Long Island. They knew that the flowers called Dahlias had a strong memory connection for me and sent the photo shown on the viewer's right for this page.

While enjoying part of a beautiful day at this peaceful garden for their anniversary, they also noticed that this Dahlia garden was a farm. Upon viewing signage about composting, they couldn't resist sending me photos of the information boards that were on displayed. Since they know how much I enjoy talking about composting!

Me Adding To My Compost!

Now I am posting the images of these display boards about composting on this Going True Green blog post because of the important basic information they state and the image layouts. I believe the information is helpful for everyone and a great start for those looking to start their own composting actions to help save money, energy and our environment. Happy anniversary and best wishes to all the future composting fans.

Thanks for the tutorial on composting! While the simplicity of the posters may be degrading (pun definitely intended) for the advanced composter, it seems simple enough that anyone who cares about the environment can be an active participant. Whether you start with old fallen leaves, yard waste, decaying forest wood, organic kitchen waste or a combination of these, keep it simple at first. As you get some experience, expand your project. Your composted material can be used as a mulch in flower beds or as a potting mix for ornamental plants and vegetables in future seasons. GET GROWING!

By the way, where exactly is that beautiful Dahlia garden?

Thanks Mike for your comment and input. Since my GoingTrueGreen blog is read nationally and internationally, I did not list the location.
The best action a reader can take, if interested in visiting a farm or garden with Dahlia flowers, would be to run a search for one local to them. Bill @ GTG
