A little glimpse of the Zinnia patch that has just started!
I'd say we are at about 20-25% bloom.
I'm excited to see it in about a week for full bloom!

Feel free to reach out about flowers!
I'd be happy to pick you some for your event or occasion!

With replanting, late plantings, and all the things it is a little spread out right now so having a U-pick crowd would be hard to direct and tell everyone where to go! Scheduled private sessions are welcome, inquire for details.

I also have to work around our private events at the barn! 👰💍

Thank you to all who have inquired about our u-pick flowers! 💐♥️💐
