Description
PLEASE READ ALL THE INFO BELOW:
THE DAHL-A-DAYS ARE HERE! $1 per stem. We will be able to provide our sleeves as normal, but feel free to bring your own vessels if you plan on cutting quite a few! We will ask you to continue to use our shears, as that helps us to limit disease transmission into our field.
ABOUT OUR FARM: Visit our small family farm in the heart of beautiful Watsonville, CA to see our field of nearly 2,000 dahlia plants in over 80 varieties, and pick a bouquet for yourself or a special someone to take home!
ABOUT THE TICKETS: Ticket price is per person and includes access to the flower field. All the necessary supplies such as clippers and bouquet wrap are provided. Tickets MUST be purchased online., and only ticket holders will be permitted into the field. This event is for people ages 12+ and requires the use of sharp garden floral snips. Children under 11 or under may accompany a ticket holder free of charge, but will need to be supervised at all times. Tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE.
WHEN TO ARRIVE: Doors open at time of opening and fields must be vacated at listed times. Please do not arrive early. The closer to our opening time you arrive, the better the bloom selection will be, so arrive on time if possible! But not to worry - we will have MANY beautiful flowers for you to choose from! Feel free to arrive at any time during your ticket's time window, but be sure to give yourself around 30-45 to select your blooms - it can be overwhelming (in a good way) to look at a field full of flowers and then have to decide!
ABOUT THE WEATHER: Watsonville tends to be foggy and cool in the mornings, so be prepared for overcast weather with temperatures in the 60s. We advise a light jacket or sweater, and closed toed shoes that will help you to navigate our field!
A FEW MORE DETAILS: Please keep in mind this is a working farm field. There will be dirt, weeds with nasty spines and bugs, including bees and spiders. It’s all part of an authentic on farm experience. Mud and uneven ground are also possible. Sunscreen is recommended. Please use provided garbage cans for any trash. Please do not bring any pets (service animals are absolutely welcome!) There is NO BATHROOM ACCESS, but there is the Pinto Lake Park just a few minutes away, which has public restrooms.
ABOUT CANCELLATIONS: Dates and times are as listed, rain or shine. Consider bringing a jacket or sweater in the event of light rain. In the event that our U-Pick time is cancelled, you will be rescheduled. Cancellations and rescheduling will be communicated via email.
