GardenView U-Pick Flowers

Spend a summer day picking your own fresh flowers at this family-friendly farm activity. When you arrive, you'll check in at the shop, grab clippers and a container filled with water, then head into the fields to create your own bouquet from over 60 varieties of blooms—everything from zinnias and sunflowers to snapdragons and gladiolus. The selection changes throughout the season, so you can visit multiple times for different arrangements. It's a wonderfully therapeutic way to spend an afternoon, and kids of all ages are welcome as long as they're supervised by an adult. The experience costs $16 per bouquet, and you'll need either your own Ball brand quart-size mason jar or can purchase a vase on-site for $2. One bottle of water is included. Come prepared for a garden setting—wear old clothes and comfortable shoes since the ground can be sandy or muddy. Be sure to bring sunscreen and a hat. Payment options include cash, check, Venmo, or credit card (with a small processing fee). This also makes a fun group activity for birthday parties or special celebrations—just message ahead if you'd like to arrange something for a larger group.
