Avid horticulturalist and lover of colour, Diana Loader, wants to see a revival of the Wanganui Dahlia Circle and is seeking other interested people.
Still growing large numbers of dahlias and other colourful blooms, Diana attends dahlia shows all over New Zealand, winning awards as she goes.
Her Kai Iwi property is testament to her skill and passion for flowers with 75 named varieties of dahlia.
"I'm not an expert," she says. "I'm an enthusiast." And she loves teaching people about beautiful flowers.
Diana invites interested people to a lunch meeting at midday at the Quaker Meeting rooms at 256 Wicksteed St, on Friday, June 15, to re-form the Wanganui Dahlia Circle.
