Tips for Visiting Pick-Your-Own Flower Farms

There’s nothing quite like walking through a sea of blossoms and crafting a custom bouquet from the prettiest picks. Keep the following tips in mind to make the most of your trip.

• Check the Season: Flower picking windows can be short, and bloom times vary. Always visit the farm's website or social media for the most accurate info.
• Consider Bringing Tools: While most do, not every flower-picking farm provides clippers and buckets. Check ahead of time, or consider leaving some supplies in your car.
• Come Prepared: Sunscreen, a hat, water, and comfortable shoes are must-haves. Some flower farms also have on-site food trucks, so consider packing a picnic blanket.
• Be Respectful: Follow farm rules, don’t trample rows, and pick only from designated areas.
