BYO bucket and cutters
We ask that our guests bring their own cutters and buckets. Check above for help on what to grab. Come say hi before you start cutting so we can give you the lay of the land and instructions.
Start picking!
After you grab your materials and say hello, you are free to pick. We suggest cutting as low as you can to ensure a long stem. Cutting off any lower leaves and branches helps extend the life of your flowers, please dispose of the scaps in our garden garbage.
