Dahlia Valley Ranch Ribbon Cutting & Tour

Join us in celebrating the expansion of Dahlia Valley Ranch with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony and lunch this Friday, September 13, 2024! The festivities begin at 11:30 a.m. at their storefront location in Hotel Custer.

After the ribbon-cutting, take a short trip to the flower farm at 80215 Mills Valley Road to explore the growing tunnels, flower beds, and the new design studio. Learn about agritourism and enter a drawing for a beautiful bouquet of flowers! Lunch will be served from 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. RSVP is encouraged by texting 308.520.1455 to help with food preparations.

Dahlia Valley Ranch has been thriving and expanding its offerings, which now include:

• A self-serve “grab and go” shop in downtown Arnold
• Weekly sip ‘n’ snip events during the flowering season
• A new website
• Wholesale flowers and arrangements available to florists and gift stores in Broken Bow, North Platte, Gothenburg, Stapleton, and Arnold
• A new design studio, made possible with the support of an AEDC loan and grant

In addition to these exciting developments, Dahlia Valley Ranch continues to participate in local farmers’ markets and provide stunning arrangements for weddings, funerals, and other special occasions.

Congratulations to Lisa Nelson and Dahlia Valley Ranch for bringing this beautiful vision to life!
