Darren Everest - "Dahlias"

 

We welcome back Darren Everest to YDGS who has been growing Dahlias for about 35 years. At the age of fifteen he was growing around three hundred plants on his own allotment. Since 2011, with the help of his wife, he has been doing some large Dahlia displays at the Edenbridge and Oxted Agricultural Show , where he has won nine consecutive Gold Awards including one Large Gold and the Presidents Award for Best Exhibit in the whole show, Lullingstone Castle, and at the RHS Wisley Gardens.

In 2021 he was awarded the prestigious "Personality of the Year" award by the National Dahlia Society,  one of their highest accolades.
