Information About Our Flowers
Here is a look at some of our most commonly asked questions, and their answers:
When are the flowers planted?
We plant them each year in the springtime.
How do you protect the flowers from the elements?
We use a trellis netting system to help protect from strong winds and rain and support the flowers. This is especially important once the stems get longer.
What is the best way to cut the flowers?
We recommend you cut the flowers using a pair of shears or scissors, which you can bring from home or we can supply for you. We also provide buckets with a little water in them.
How did we choose the flowers to grow?
In our years of experience, we have learned that the main four flowers, the Zinna, Dahlia, Gladiolus, and Sunflowers, are the perfect type of flower for our cut your own garden! Each year, we experiment with adding different types of fillers, which have learned make your bouquets extra special.
Our flower garden is open from mid-July to the first frost, which typically occurs in mid-October. Please check our website for more details.
