About Us

Intrigued by the beauty and versatility of the dahlia, Mark Harvey started growing several varieties of this resilient flower in his backyard in Portland in 2003. Today, he offers more than 175 varieties of dahlias that Portlanders are accustomed to buying, literally, from his front doorstep.

Though he continues to grow flowers in his backyard, he also has a one-acre plot in Corbett, Oregon, just south of Portland and one acre in Portland's South Waterfront district. If you live in Portland, you can buy dahlias at 8005 SE Mill Street in the Montavilla neighborhood. Mark hosts an annual dahlia fest each September 11-12 and 18 -19. We also sell dahlia tubers for food , great raw on salads .

You can also pick up potted plants , and fresh cut flowers from August till frost at his self-serve cooler or call ahead for something special (call Mark first at 503-771-1199). Mark will be at Old House Dahlias Saturday and Sunday through the season.
