U-Pick Flowers FAQs
How does flower picking work?
The process for picking flowers at flower farms varies by location. Generally, visitors show up, get instructions and tools, and proceed to cut the flower stalks as directed.
Check the open times for the flower farms you want to visit and head on out. Some farms require reservations.
What is the best time of day to go flower picking?
Try to pick flowers in the morning. Your flowers will be less likely to wilt. The flower farms know this and often offer morning flower picking times as a result. Flowers cut in the middle of the day may struggle.
When can I go flower picking in Michigan?
The growing season in Michigan typically runs from the end of May into October.
Flower bloom times depend on flower variety, location, and seasonal conditions. It can be hard to predict exactly when a certain type of flower will be at peak bloom.
However, flower farms are good at estimating these bloom times and will often post updates on their social media accounts.
If your heart is set on picking sunflowers, make sure you check the flower farm’s calendar to determine the best time to visit.
What should I wear to a flower farm?
When going flower picking, wear clothes that can get dirty. Consider rainboots for trudging through the field.
Happy Picking!
No matter which flower farm you choose, you’re sure to end up with a gorgeous bouquet.
