*After purchase as you near your date: look for an email from me/ Rhiannon with address/more details etc!
-Entrance fee: $100 per person-ages 10+ and over only please - due to needing to ensure safety while visiting the farm - the dahlias require a lot of tying/twining/staking/mechanics to keep them upright - this has been given careful consideration, please do not ask for an exception. The price is per person for entry- regardless of whether not someone is cutting/picking or not.
-Available hours are 11am to 6pm - after purchase email us your preferred hour time frame
-Includes cutting your own dahlia bucket- up to 30 dahlias in a bucket we provide (yours to keep and take) - per paid attendee

-Photography and food/snacks welcome- your time here is your own to enjoy! please take all trash with you
-Rain or shine - bring a hat, water bottle etc in case it’s warm out! We have some shady areas where you can put your items on tables nearby
PRICING NOTE: 30 dahlias by itself is valued at $120 retail- if you bought a bucket of dahlias from us priced per stem. The farm visit itself is priceless - especially if you are a dahlia lover and can see over 80 varieties in bloom, make notes, and have the time to yourself on a small working farm.
All dahlias are labeled if you want to know varieties. We only do these you picks ONCE a year in dahlia season and our farm is not typically open to the public. This really is a special treat for our guests!
Note: this is not a special guided tour, nor is there any instruction other a quick tutorial other than how to harvest dahlias for your bucket, it’s specifically for YOU to spend time with the flowers, cut your own blooms, and enjoy some farm time.
We supply the blooms, and offer curated event-ready packages or volume based collections of cut florals for your events - start the conversation with us.

Private Workshops: If you have a group of 8+ - we can do a PRIVATE workshop date on our farm for your group! If interested in this, drop us an email via the contact us page and Rhiannon will get back to you with details. We can only offer 1-2 of these a year - schedule wise so if interested, ping us ASAP!
Class Details:
A few hours of creativity and laughter as you learn how to make and then craft your very own fresh locally-sourced evergreen wreath with hands-on instruction. Using all locally-sourced freshly cut evergreens, dried bits and bobs from our flower farm, and other natural materials, you’ll make your own wreath for your front door or mantel and leave with a handmade creation that will last you MONTHS of enjoyment.
We normally do not take our handmade wreaths down until almost March. With a bit of care, these will last! Using locally sourced greens and materials makes a big difference in longevity.
These events are perfect for girls-day-out or bring along Mom or your better half for a bit of quality time.
There are two size options:
14” ring, where the finished product is usually around 18” ($115 per person)
18” ring, where the finished product is usually around 22” ($145 per person)
14” is the most popular size, best for front doors and smaller wall spacing, the 18” ring makes a very big wreath but that is perfect for tall ceilings or giant doors where you need a larger than life presence. PLEASE note that the 14” takes about 1.5-2 hours to complete and the 18 takes about 2-2.5 hours - the bigger is a serious commitment!
Each person attending must be ticketed - no exceptions please.
The pictures here are examples of wreaths I’ve made and others have made in our classes! You’ll see every wreath is different!

There are various dates and times listed in the pulldown. Choose what works for your schedules!
