Field of Flowers:
Over the last few years the flower fields have been greatly expanded. Plush dahlias, as well as sunflowers, hollyhocks, cosmos, and a wide variety of other flowers. Whether you are looking for exquisite, fresh-cut blooms to complete the arrangements for your wedding or event, to beautify your restaurant, or just to add color to your kitchen table, you’re sure to find them here. Photographers, you won’t want to miss capturing the vivid colors of our flower fields beneath majestic Mt. Hood. As is always the case, Mother Nature will dictate bloom times but be sure to enjoy flower display all summer long
Tulips - U-pick tulip field, $1 per stem. 20,000 tulip bulbs were planted in 2022
Hollyhocks and wildflowers - end of June or 1st part of July
Sunflowers - August and September - Sunflower bouquets last longer than any other flower so take home a bundle to enjoy for weeks.
Dahlias - September through October freeze
