Love Dahlias is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/marelivisserkoekedoor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mareli Visser<\/a>, best known as the Koekedoor winner of 2015, author of several books including the bread recipe book <em>Uitgerys<\/em>, and former TV presenter of &#8220;Die Koektannie&#8221; on VIA TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mareli has been growing dahlias for four years and was born and raised in Douglas.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;When dahlias are in full flower, it&#8217;s not just &#8216;pretty&#8217;. It&#8217;s overwhelming. It&#8217;s joyful. It&#8217;s the kind of beauty that makes you quiet for a second,&#8221; she said. This inspired her to share the experience properly once a year during a festival.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-into-peak-bloom-season\">Step into peak bloom season<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For this inaugural festival, flower lovers, gardeners and creative souls alike are invited to step into peak bloom season for a curated mix of field experiences, practical learning during workshops, small-town indulgence and signature dinners.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Festival highlights include the Early Morning Dahlia Walk with Mareli, the Dahlia Masterclass, and creative sessions blending flowers with other crafts.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A range of ticketed workshops will run throughout the festival, presented by a line-up of respected collaborators.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These include Field to Vase: Designing with Dahlias (a floral design workshop), Creating the Dahlia Affair (floral installation workshop by Veldmeisie, Corli Leonard), and A Blooming Good Shot &#8211; Learn Mobile Phone Photography (Jaco Powell, Cape Fox Photography). \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More workshops include Grow More Blooms &#8211; Seed Starting and Cuttings (Akanaka Blooms Farm Flowers, Nzwi Dyira), and Queen of Blooms (flower crown workshop for beginners).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional sessions include an Eco Fabric Printing Workshop with Katie du Toit, a Beekeeping Workshop hosted by Douglas Bee Farms at Moerby Padstal, and a question and answer session with Susie Le Blond of Flourish Urban Flower Farm.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evenings during the festival will feature a standout culinary experience: The Dahlia Affair &#8211; a three-night dinner series with a celebrity chef.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;These dinners are not just meals &#8211; they are part of the festival story,&#8221; said Visser. &#8220;They are where the day&#8217;s creativity and the whole &#8216;dahlia mood&#8217; comes together.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1281\" data-attachment-id=\"295877\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/love-dahlias-festival-experience-a-blooming-adventure-in-douglas\/lovedahliasmarelivis_89248\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LoveDahliasMareliVis_89248.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1281\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"LoveDahliasMareliVis_89248\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LoveDahliasMareliVis_89248-959x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LoveDahliasMareliVis_89248.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-295877\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.9367983684982941;width:500px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LoveDahliasMareliVis_89248.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LoveDahliasMareliVis_89248-281x300.jpg 281w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LoveDahliasMareliVis_89248-768x820.jpg 768w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/vistanews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LoveDahliasMareliVis_89248-959x1024.jpg 959w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mareli Visser presents the Love Dahlias Festival.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-book-tickets-online\">Book tickets online<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visitors are encouraged to book accommodation early, with a list of partner guesthouses available on the website.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tickets are now available, with limited capacity across workshops and signature experiences.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full programme details, ticket links, and festival updates are available via the Love Dahlias Festival page on <a href=\"https:\/\/lovedahlias.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lovedahlias.com<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The inaugural Love Dahlias Festival in Douglas, hosted by Mareli Visser, features workshops, flower walks, and culinary events from 18 to 21 March.
