As nice as buying a bouquet of flowers is, it’s even more special to create a bouquet by hand-picking the flowers yourself! Plus, it makes for a great activity on a summer day. There are a ton of pick-your-own flower farms less than 2 hours away from Toronto offering seasonal pickings of a variety of blooms!
Here are 7 farms you can pick your own flowers at
Windecker Woods Flower Farm
Location: 215 Windecker Rd, Cayuga, ON
Windecker Woods Flower Farm is a bit of a drive from Toronto, but would make for the perfect little day trip! The farm is open from dusk until dawn, 7 days a week from late May to October. The experience is completely self-serve, you simply grab a pair of clippers (supplied by the farm), and a basket, and explore the fields to create your perfect flower arrangement. You pay at the end based on how many flowers you’ve picked.
Andrews Scenic Acres
Location: 9365 10 Side Road, Milton, ON
Not only can you pick seasonal produce at Andrews Scenic Acres, the farm also has flower picking available too! The flowers rotate seasonally, so check out its Instagram or call ahead to make sure the flowers are available for picking at the time of your visit.
Campbell’s Cross Farm
Location: 3634 King Street, Caledon, ON
Starting in August, you can go sunflower picking at Campbell’s Cross Farm, located just about 30 minutes away from Toronto, at one of its Sunflower Pick & Create Workshops! The farm has over 700,000 sunflowers come August and it’s quite a sight to see!
Bonnieheath Estate Lavender & Winery
Location: 410 Concession 12 Townsend, Waterford, ON
Bonnieheath Estate Lavender & Winery has lavender picking available from June into October, while the flowers are in season!
