Thank you for choosing to visit our farm.
WELCOME
Come and enjoy the serenity and peacefulness of an acre of flowers, and the time to look around at everything we have planted here. If this is your first visit, please read what to expect when you arrive and how it all works.
HOW IT WORKS
After you book online we will send you the details in an email outlining the farm rules that we expect everyone to live up to.
You are purchasing up to one hour to spend admiring our flowers and cutting up to 20 assorted stems of flowers.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE
The first thing you will notice driving in is the lush green colour of the garden. As most plants and flowers are 90% green that is what will strike you first. You will need to walk through the garden to discover flowers and the abundance of colour that lies on top and below.
The first thing you’ll need to do is check in with the farmstand attendant.
You will receive a “how to cut our flowers” talk when you arrive, which covers how to select the flowers you want for your bouquet, and how and where to cut the flower to have the longest vase life.
We provide the snips we want you to use and they must be returned at the end of your experience. We also provide a vessel for you to carry with you in the field in order to collect your gorgeous blooms, you can then transfer your bouquet to your own vessel to take home.
WHILE YOU ARE HERE
We have a portalet, and a hand washing station for your convenience.
The flowers are growing in our field, so you should wear appropriate footwear for the weather. Even a day after rain you will still get mud on your boots. Bug spray is a good idea if you are bothered by bugs, and a sun hat and sunscreen are good accessories to have with you.
Other than the produce in the farmstand we do not have any food or drinks for sale. You should bring your own drinking water on hot days.
Come by yourself, or bring a few friends

FAQs
Do you have any questions?
Can we bring a picnic lunch and stay a while?
We are working on an area that can be used for small gatherings for the summer of 2022. At this point in our garden development we do not have space for a family picnic in the blooms but our hope is to one day offer that as an event. We do not have any food or drink for sale, other than our offerings in the farmstand. If you are looking for a place to have lunch before or after your farm experience please just ask us and we are more than happy to give you details and even maps of how to get there.
Can I bring my kids?
Are always welcome to enjoy the flowers and our farm experience. We do pride ourselves on being a respite from the world outside our treeline so, please understand your children will be held to the same standard that you will be when visiting.
Can I bring people with me to cut flowers ?
Our goal is to provide the best experience we can for all of the visitors we have. In order to provide a space where you can enjoy the flowers and the entire garden, we limit the entrance to the field to those who have purchased a ticket to pick flowers. Each adult (over 13) who is not picking must purchase a visitors pass for $10 for the hour you are picking. Kids under 13 are free but must adhere to the same rules.
Do you allow pets on the property?
We are a pet free zone here at Stems Flower Farm. With the obvious exception of service animals we do not allow other pets to get out of their cars. We will gladly give you directions and a map to the local off leash park if you have brought your family member for the ride.
Do you allow large groups to come at the same time?
If you have a group (more than 6) of people who would like to come and experience the farm, please email us at Support@stemsflowerfarm.ca and we will be happy to put a package together for your experience.
What happens if the weather is bad the day I am coming?
We don’t have control over the weather here at the farm so here is a link to what you might expect to see when you arrive. We expect that in light rainy weather and slightly cooler temperatures that you will be here, but we fully understand and appreciate not wanting to pick flowers in the pouring rain. We will accept and acknowledge moving your appointment time due to rain. Simply go to the app more than 24 hours from your scheduled time and rebook for a new date.
Can I use your garden for a photo shoot?
Yes, we think it makes for great photos. If you are taking wedding, engagement, expectant mother, newborn, or family photos etc. or the person taking the photograph is unrelated to you, then a you need to book via the Professional Photographers guidelines on the website (more details below) If you are taking selfies of your experience cutting flowers we would appreciate it if you would consider tagging the location.
Do you have bees on the property?
We have several bee hives on the property that house thousands of bees. Honey bees are not aggressive under normal circumstances as they all have jobs to do and don’t really want to spend time with you. If they are provoked they can sting, but it is rare. We are also home to thousands of other flying and crawling and stinging things. If you are still coming for a farm experience that is great, please disclose the fact that you or anyone in your party is carrying an EpiPen and the extent of your allergy. We would feel better being able to help you. We do not have EpiPens here at the farm.
Farm Rules
We are farmers. Our living comes from what we grow and offer to you. We do our best to provide a safe environment, for both our employees and our guests to pick flowers. However, it is a working farm. And things change daily.
You Assume Any and All Risks
When paying to come to our farm you are accepting the risk of walking on uneven ground, and that some days the mud can be slippery. The snips are kept sharp to protect the plants we cut, so please don’t forget that you can cut yourself if not used properly. We are home to stinging bees and wasps, they too like the flowers, and the risk of being stung may be greater than when you are at home.
Destruction of Property
Our Cutting Garden is a part of our family home. Any willful damage caused by anyone in your party will not be tolerated and will result in the forfeiture of your visit. You will be asked to leave and banned from coming back.
Accompanying Children
If you are accompanying anyone under the age of 13, please keep them in your care during your visit. Children found wandering on their own or damaging plants may be forced into 2 hours of pulling weeds.
Bulk Flowers For Purchase
Your purchase of a time slot to Cut Your Own Flowers is limited to a mixed bouquet of our flowers, should you wish to pick straight run bunches of the same flowers, please let us know and we will tell you if that can be arranged and what the prevailing wholesale price will be for cutting in this fashion. The Cut Your Own Garden was not grown with the intention of providing bulk flowers for folks who arrange professionally or as a hobby and we ask that you refrain from doing so. If you have an interest in bulk flowers, please ask what our availability is and we might be able to work out something for you.
Photography Policy
Of course a flower farm is an ideal spot for photos and yes by all means, we want you to take photos/selfies while you are here.
