GardenView U-Pick Flowers

Spend a summer afternoon picking your own fresh flowers straight from the field at GardenView's U-Pick garden. When you arrive, you'll check in at the shop, grab clippers and a container (bring your own Ball quart-size mason jar or purchase a vase for $2), and head into the gardens to cut as many blooms as you'd like. With over 60 flower varieties planted throughout the season—from zinnias and snapdragons to sunflowers and gladiolus—you'll create a one-of-a-kind bouquet to take home. The experience costs $16 per person and includes a complimentary water bottle. This is a great activity for families of all ages, though kids need adult supervision. Wear comfortable, dirt-friendly clothes and shoes since the garden terrain can be bumpy and muddy. Dogs on leashes are welcome, and there are shaded spots to rest. The gardens offer plenty of photo opportunities, including special backdrops like a flower arch and morning glory canopy. Visitors can pay with cash, check, Venmo, or credit card (50¢ processing fee), and online pre-purchase is available.
