What to Bring

• If it has been raining in days leading up to your visit, feel free to pack a pair of boots. 
• Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes as you will be walking through our fields. Boots or tennis shoes are the best.
• Bring a water bottle for hydration.
• Bring bug spray for the mosquitos. We have some spray on-site as well, but you may prefer a different type.

Reminders

• With flowers come bees…we have never had an issue but come prepared if bees pose a problem for you. 
• Children are welcome, but please keep an eye on them and make sure they stay within the walking paths for the preservation of our flowers. For the same reason, we ask that you leave your pets at home. ADA certified service animals only. Thank you.
• General Rule: It usually takes between 30 minutes to 1 hour to pick a vase. Feel free to stay as long as you wish to take photos. We do not allow professional paid photo sessions to be taken during our U-Pick times. Feel free to contact us to set up your own personalized time for a professional shoot.  

Flower Care

The best start you can give your flowers is to keep their water and container CLEAN.  Change your water every 2 days.  Bacteria in your water can drastically reduce their vase life. We do not recommend leaving  your fresh flowers in a hot car or leaving them in direct sunlight. When you get home give your stems a fresh cut on a 45 degree angle with a sharp scissors.  Remove any leaves that fall below your water line as they will create bacteria.  If you follow these few steps your flowers should provide you awesome vase life!
