Welcome to Petal and Thorn!
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the flowers?
Keep in mind that we are a production farm, not a botanical garden, so you may not see rows and rows of flowers each time you visit. We are consistently cutting flowers and planting new as needed. We harvest flowers early in bloom to fill orders and create bouquets. Also, we do what is called succession planting. This means we are constantly removing crops that have run their course and planting new ones. Because we are always harvesting and planting, our flower beds are not perfectly groomed. You will see flowers, but it may not be exactly what you have in mind.
Can I pick my own flowers?
Yes. We have U-Pick events where you can pick flowers, as well as by appointment. We will guide you to the beds where picking is available, offer you snips, and a bucket to collect them. You do need to purchase a ticket for each person who plans to pick flowers.
Can I get a guided tour of the farm?
Yes. You can make an appointment for a guided tour, and we offer special times when tours are available to the public for a fee. This is our personal residence, and we require that you stay in designated areas while visiting our property.
