UPDATE: the driver has come forward and taken responsibility! I have a digging and cleanup partner and hopefully out of a pretty rough experience for them- I can share some love of gardening!!
🌸 Well, I guess it’s officially time to start digging dahlias! 🌸
Mother Nature wasn’t the one who decided our growing season was over this year… apparently, a car did! 🚗💨
Sometime last night, someone took an unexpected detour off the road and straight through a few of our dahlia beds, leaving behind a trail of destruction, car parts, and a whole lot of cleanup.
Based on the pieces left behind, we’re looking for a blue Honda or Hyundai that likely has some pretty significant front-end and undercarriage damage.
If anyone happens to spot a vehicle matching that description, please reach out!
And to the driver, if you happen to see this: I’m not asking you to pay for the damage. Accidents happen! But an apology and a little help digging up the tubers you ran over and cleaning up the mess would sure be appreciated.
These flowers are a labor of love, and there’s a whole lot of time, sweat, and dirt that goes into growing them.
I had planned to start digging soon, but I guess someone decided to give me a head start. 😂🌸
Here’s to hoping the tubers survived better than the car did! 🤞
