$39 - SINGLE PITCHER OF FLOWERS
Stroll through the garden and fill your pitcher as you go. Most people fit enough to fill two vases at home. This is a great sturdy picking vessel and was the FAVORITE choice last year for Upick. It also makes for great pictures. (Additional $5 when dahlia rows open)

Make sure to come on time for your time slot if you want a bucket!! This takes a while. You may even want to bring a friend. It's hard to say how many vases you can fill with this bucket. It mostly depend on the size. About 6-8 mason jar vases (Extra $10 when dahlia rows open)
Let's make a list
WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING TO A U-PICK
CLEAN CONTAINER
to transport your flowers home in. Your container should be clean enough to drink out of!
CLIPPERS OR SCISSORS
We do have these available on the farm but should you choose to use your own, feel free to bring them.
FARM APPROPRIATE SHOES
You will be walking from the parking area, to the flowers, and finally taking the necessary steps to fill your pitcher.
SUNSCREEN
The flowers need sun to grow so they are in an open field. Please be prepared for the weather.
WATER
Hydration (for you) is always important and even in the evening and morning the sun can get HOT.
RESPECTFUL CHILDREN
This is our home and we are excited to share our land with you. Children should be supervised. We have worked hard to grow the flowers. Picking and Pitching is not kind.
What to do
