June Events at Purple Tuteur Farm
Summer is just around the corner, and Purple Tuteur Farm is buzzing with blooms, beauty, and hands-on opportunities to learn and connect. June brings two of our favorite events of the year: our signature Dahlia Growing Workshops and participation in the South Carolina Ag + Art Tour. Whether you're a flower enthusiast, a curious gardener, or just looking for a scenic way to spend a day, we've got something magical in store.
South Carolina Ag + Art Tour – June 7 & 8
Hours: 9 AM – 4 PM on Saturday and 12 – 4 PM on Sunday
Admission: Free

We’re thrilled to be a stop on this year’s Ag + Art Tour—South Carolina’s largest free farm and art experience! Come explore the farm in peak bloom and see the beauty of locally grown flowers up close. Meet the farmer (that’s me!), tour the growing fields, and shop from local artists and makers who will be set up on-site.
This is a family-friendly event that’s part garden tour, part mini farmers market, part art crawl—and 100% fun.
What to Expect:
Guided and Self-guided flower field tours
Meet-the-artist booths with handmade goods
Farm-grown bouquets, plants and tubers for sale
Informal growing Q&A and planting tips
Beautiful photo ops in the dahlia patch
Come support local agriculture and the arts in one beautiful stop. Bring a friend (or two), and wear comfortable shoes—we’ll be walking among flowers and dreams.

🌸 Dahlia Growing Workshops – Hands-On Learning

Location: Purple Tuteur Farm, Blythewood, SC
Tickets: $75 per person – includes round table and in-field instruction, take-home materials, and 2 dahlia tubers

If you want to add something to your garden that produces an abundance of flowers, consider dahlias. Now is a great time to get them started in the Midlands. Come learn what is involved in growing your own during our on-farm class.
The training begins with a presentation, followed by a walkthrough of the dahlia beds on the farm. While in the field, we will demonstrate some of the growing techniques that will make your dahlias produce their best blooms.
What we will cover:
Dahlia classifications and Variety selection considerations, Growing conditions, Planting, Tending, Common Pests and Diseases, Harvesting, and After Season Care
Here’s what you’ll take home:
A handout of the material covered
Two dahlia tubers from our farm stock to plant in your own garden
Maximum attendees per class is 10. Students must be 18 years or older to participate. No refunds after registering, but transfers of your seat to a friend are encouraged if you cannot attend.
June is the perfect time to get your dahlias established for a strong summer show—and our workshop will give you the knowledge and confidence to do just that.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned gardener looking to sharpen your skills, there is something for everyone in this class.
