Swan Island Dahlias have been in business over 85 years. They are the largest Dahlia grower in America, and hold an Annual Dahlia Festival in Canby, Oregon.

The Dahlia farm is currently a little over 40 acres, and they are in full bloom the last week of August and Labor Day Weekend, which is when the farm opens for a festival where visitors can roam the lanes between the flowers, attend the Dahlia Show in a cool, undergrown show room, and enjoy stolling thru booths that sell food, garden supplies and decorative items. The farm is gorgeous, with Mt Hood viewable in the distance, a lovely Koi pond, shaded picnic tables and acres and acres of flowers.
