This years flower growing season is coming to a close for our farm.
Although it has been seasonally warm for Boise up to today and we still have flowers blooming in the field, we need to clean up and get ready for next year.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service, the first Fall freeze (32°F) usually occurs in Boise October 17th and the first hard freeze (28°F) October 29th.
As an email subscriber to this newsletter, we invite you to visit us one last time for a free pick-your-own jar of flowers. Bring your own jar to fill, a small or wide mouth pint or quart canning jar (or something close). Clippers, water and flower food provided. This is for U-Pick, not the Flower Bar. Limit to one jar per household please. Be sure to let us know you are a subscriber when visiting.
We will be open this Thursday October 15th through Sunday October 18th, 9am-4pm, our last day being Sunday.
Thank-you for allowing us to share in the special ways that flowers touch our hearts. It has been a successful and rewarding year for us. We will open again next May 2027.
Until next time, peace.

P.S.- We will be digging up and selling our dahlia tubers soon for $3.00-$4.00 each plant crown (which has multiple tubers/eyes). 10 varieties of dahlias, mostly ball and pompon. If you know how to store and over-winter them for planting next spring and are interested in purchasing, give us call at 208-789-0008.
