Years of trade show experience are paying off for North Bend's Aimee and Jerry Sherrill. Selling hand-bagged tubers from their Dahlia Barn booth, they meet many new customers at the annual Northwest Flower and Garden Show.
Jerry Sherrill knows all about the beauty of a good bonus. He and wife Aimee, co-owners of the Dahlia Barn in North Bend, entice passing shoppers at the big Northwest Flower and Garden Show with many colorful varieties, from Cornel to Kasasagi. But the big draw, Jerry is pleased to note, is always the bonus bin. Curious customers can't help but try out a twofer. Having personally divided each dahlia tuber by hand, Jerry proudly says that each one—freebies included—is a keeper. "Every one of these, I've bagged myself," he said. "I can tell you there is an eye on every one."
