GardenView U-Pick Flowers

Spend a summer morning or afternoon picking your own fresh flowers straight from the garden at GardenView Flowers. When you arrive, you'll check in, grab clippers and a container (bring your own quart-size mason jar or purchase a vase for $2), and head into the fields to create your own bouquet. The farm grows over 60 varieties of flowers—from zinnias and snapdragons to sunflowers and gladiolus—so you'll have plenty of choices. Your $16 admission includes a complimentary bottle of water, and you can fill your container with as many blossoms as you like. The experience works wonderfully for families, and children of any age are welcome as long as they're supervised by an adult. Plan to wear clothes and shoes you don't mind getting a little dirty, since the garden paths can be sandy or wet. All ages enjoy this activity, and even your leashed dog can tag along. The farm also welcomes personal photography—there's a garden arch, morning glory canopy, and flower mural perfect for family pictures. Payment options include cash, check, Venmo, or credit card (with a small processing fee). This is a fun outing for a birthday celebration, party gathering, or simply a special summer memory with your family.
