He started with just a few plants but now has almost 200 dahlias in his garden. One of his focus areas is on using dahlias as a landscaping element in his garden.

Wes has shown his dahlia blooms in a variety of settings, including local shows at Longwood Gardens, the Maryland State Fair, and national shows of the American Dahlia Society.
