Wondering if we host photos or small events in the garden?

For photo sessions, you must call ahead to check our availability even on open days, in the u-pick garden. 

The cost is $40 on open u-pick days (Friday-Monday), or $50 on our "off days" (Tuesday- Thursday) and either option will include two buckets of bloomed, to be picked while you are here taking photos. Everyone goes home with flowers, and we can put money in the piggy bank and grow the “backdrop” again next season! 

We request that you give us your date, no more than 30 days prior to the time desired and we will double check availability to confirm we don’t have too many photos sessions or other large events going on at the same time.  

 If you are coming on an open u-pick day, this choice is perfect if you’re planning a super quickie small session with one small family or individual. Because it is our OPEN days it may mean there’s other photographers and other you pick guests at the same time, so it’s not a “private” experience. Open days are typically Friday through Monday.  

For a semi-private photo shoot time in the garden, consider our OFF days. It is an investment is $50 and still includes two buckets of flowers. There won’t be as many other people just randomly walking into the garden to come pick flowers. However, we may schedule more than one group/photographer at once. But it’s a good size space, and people usually find ways to work in different areas and move around to take turns. For this option, it is typically for the photographer to spend an hour or less in the garden, still just here with one single party.

We do NOT allow this pricing option for large groups, photographers with back-to-back clients or multifamily plans for mini sessions. It’s meant to just be a kind of casual taking pictures while you’re picking flowers sort of photo shoot. For larger groups please see our event pricing. 

 Also, no nudity or boudoir shoots at any time. All images need to be family friendly. No pets are allowed in the garden.

Please call with questions.

We greatly appreciate when photographers tag us on social media or share images via email or DM after their session.

How fun would be to reserve the garden for your own special night?! Could be either for photos or if you would like to hold a casual, informal gathering and u-pick too.

 (Sorry, no weddings)  

"Events" as listed on our chart above, can refer to longer photography sessions with extended families, back-to-back clients via mini session type set up. Typically, scheduled on our off days for a more private experience. 

Do you want to bring a group of friends (no photos necessary) and spend more time in the garden than the just u-pick. Think book club, maybe a fun sweet 16, or grandmas' birthday, a small baby shower, mom's night out, girl snack dinner in the blooms. We can make that happen!

Events may be planned and scheduled 30 days in advance. 

However, our farm is not set up for large gatherings (think over 50 guests) or formal events. We only provide an outhouse and cold-water sink. Depending on the event plans, you may need to have additional insurance and permitting.

 Call to check availability, coordinate details and figure out your event specific custom pricing that fits your needs.
