Want grow the most amazing dahlias every year, regardless of the weather and the conditions? Then look no further, my Dahlia Success course is what you’ve been waiting for!


Hi, I’m Kim O’Brien, also known as @garden.with.kim on Instagram. I’m based in Cambridgeshire, UK and you probably already know I’ve been growing and supplying my dahlias commercially for 25 years, but did you know that I also grow dahlias on a smaller scale at my allotment and in my garden? And just like you, I want my garden to be both productive and beautiful.
In 2023 I created a Gold-Winning Dahlia showcase garden at BBC Gardener’s World Autumn Fair, and in 2024 I was commissioned to grow the dahlias for the show’s prestigious feature showcase garden for former features editor and horticultural expert, David Hurrion. I am a BBC Gardener’s world: ‘Garden Experts’ panellist for the Stage talks at the Spring, Live and Autumn shows, and of course, my talks are always about Dahlias, what else?


Last year, we all contended with slugs, a wet Spring, an equally wet and dismal summer and cooler than usual average UK temperatures, and yet, as you will see on my Instagram, my dahlias were still off-the-scale beautiful; I still supplied my dahlias for weddings and event florists all over the Eastern Region, and for my own floristry. The abysmal summer conditions did not stop my dahlia joy!
If you are struggling to get picture perfect Dahlia blooms, I am here to help you at every step of your growing journey with my new and exclusive ‘Dahlia Success Course’.
