U PICK FLOWERS
Handpicking flowers is a peaceful way to connect with nature and craft beauty, one stem at a time, right from the earth.
THE SECRET GARDEN
Summer: July - mid-September
Summer is peak season for many beloved blooms. For the 2024 season, Snapdragons are ready for u-pick, but peak bloom for the other varieties will begin mid-late July, due to the cold June weather.
In Peak Bloom: Amaranth, Specialty Zinnias, Celosias, Sunflowers, Dahlias, Scabiosa, Rudbeckia, Lilies, Snapdragons (!!!), Feverfew, Cosmos, Gomphrena, Asters, and Achillea to name a few.... Dahlias are the superstars at most flower farms, but at Pear Bloom Farm, you will be distracted by all the other varieties we grow.
Cosmos: Get lost in a sea of Cosmos! We have a 500ft (!!!) bed of cosmos that leads you to a breathtaking view of the majestic Mt. Adams. This is a summer highlight, perfect on it’s own or to add a little whimsy to your bouquet.
Our most loved Summer flowers
Yesenia Loves: Snapdragons and Amaranth! Amaranth, because of all the drama it brings. One of the varieties is called “Love-Lies-Bleeding”; and if that’s not dramatic then we don’t know what is. And Snapdragons are adored simply because they are fun, they have a unique shape and they just keep blooming!
George Loves: Lilies! This favorite wildflower is the Mount Hood Lily and they just smell SO insanely good.
Serynna Loves: Cosmos! They are whimsical and bright with their light pastel colors, and they are exactly what we dream of when we picture an English cottage garden in the countryside.
Summer Floral Experiences
Spring: end of April - end of May
Spring blooms mark the much anticipated start of the flower season.
In Peak Bloom: Narcissus are the very first to bloom followed by Tulips.
Tulips: We grow over 20 tulip varieties including magnificent double and parrot tulips! These specialty varieties are rare to find at U Pick farms. We even have Vincent Van Gogh black tulips.
Our most loved Spring flowers
Yesenia Loves: Yellow single tulips because they just feel like sunshine.
Serynna Loves: Apeldoorn's Elite Tulips because it looks like the sunset.
Spring Floral Experiences
Fall: mid-September - first frost (mid/end of October)
Warm your soul with the quintessential fall blooms.
In peak bloom: While many of our summer blooms including Sunflowers, Sunset Zinnias, Amaranth, and Statice, are still going strong until we receive our first fall frost, Marigolds and moody plum Sunflowers take center stage.
Marigolds: We grow THOUSANDS of marigolds in preparation for a very special celebration: Día De Los Muertos, Day of the Dead. These flowers are meaningful and incorporated in so many ways including garlands, crowns, altars, bouquets, dyes, and they are even edible!
Our most loved Fall flowers
Yesenia Loves: Sunset Zinnias because they are spectacular! A true beauty that can only be appreciated in person.
Serynna Loves: Teddy Bear sunflowers because of the adorable name and because they look so different from any other sunflowers out there.
