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.

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

Who doesn’t love a good bouquet in the springtime—or even all year long for that matter? The Toronto Flower Market is finally back!
The starting weekend of the city’s outdoor flower market was last month and will continue until October.
In 2020, it was held virtually, so this is the first year back in person since before the pandemic, plus it’s celebrating its 10-year anniversary.
When you visit, you’ll browse stunning flowers from dozens of vendors around the area. There are also plants available and tools so that you’re fully equipped to take care of your new purchase.
The market supports Ontario-grown flowers and plants which creates a space to connect the local growers and florists directly with the city.
On the site, you’ll find a total of 38 vendors that will be present during the weekend pop-ups.
The next Toronto Flower Market is on June 11 from 10 am to 3 pm, so see ya there!

If you’re looking for a unique experience unlike anything you’ve seen before in Ontario may we suggest checking out a stunning field of sunflowers in full bloom?
If this sounds like something you may be interested in, you can get your fix at Bogle Seeds, a film worth sunflower farm that just about an hour away from Toronto.

If you do decide to check it out during the next three weeks, you’ll be treated to over 1.5 million sunflowers in full bloom. Visitors can tour the farm, take photos, check out trails nearby and visit the Sunflower store.

* Please note if allergic to bees or bees aren’t your cup of tea – this isn’t for you, the blossoming sunflowers attract a large number of bees and other insects.
