The Details
Saturday, October 18th
Hours: 4pm - 7pm
For flower lovers of all ages, join us for a lovely evening of self-guided dahlia picking in our field of ombre dahlias! Stroll through 13 big rows of massive dahlia plants arranged in a beautiful ombre, taking you from creamy white blooms, to blushes and pinks, to peaches and oranges, to coppers and reds, to lavenders and purples. Handpick your favorite blooms, and enjoy the serenity of our property, and feel the bask in the beauty of the flowers in the setting sun. We offer three types of "pick passes": a 10-stem bouquet, a 20 stem armful, or a 50 stem bucket of beautiful stems.
All supplies is provided, including snips and child-safe scissors. We will have a wrapping station set up in the event barn for those who prefer to wrap and go. Our Farm Shop will also be open for those who wish to purchase a vessel or other supplies on their way out!
For those who wish to enjoy the weather and a packed snack during their visit, you are welcome to find a table in the gardens or in the paddock to be still and enjoy the scenery.

Absolutely! You are welcome to fill it up at our water station and place the bouquet you've picked in your own vessel!
