There are a number of u-pick flower operations in Sequim and welcome signs come out as summer progresses. Here’s the Cutting Garden which offers both flowers and a venue for special events. On one side of the property is a beautiful house and gardens.
On the other side of the property, beyond this trellis, are rows of “u-pick” flowers.
Peonies, delphiniums, and columbines are blooming right now but more blooms are on the way. The cost for a large bouquet is around $8 or $8.50, though some “premium” flowers are purchased by the stalk. Next month local lavender farms throw open their fields for u-pick bouquets.
I can honestly say that u-pick flowers is not something I’ve ever heard of. And that is a great walkway to the front of that house.
So pretty! Love the top shot.
We are moving to Sequim from Ohio later this year, and your pictures have contributed much to our decision. I’m from the Vancouver, Wa. area so it is like coming home.
It’s a beautiful site and while I probably wouldn’t go pick flowers (unless they were for my sweetie!), I’d certain stop to take photos. I’ll bet the do weddings there, too.
Lovely gardens… when is the lavender festival??
The Lavender Festival is July 20-22. Lots of fun.
