Are prepicked buckets available?

Prepicked buckets are not being offered for the 2026 season. However, we will have bouquets available for purchase in the check-in shed.

Is change available?

Since we are now self-serve, there won’t always be someone available to provide change. If paying with cash, please bring exact change.

Do you sell gift certificates?

Due to the amount of change we are implementing in 2026, we are not offering gift certificates this season.

Where is the subscription?

The u-pick subscription has been discontinued.

Can we just come walk through the gardens for free?

Due to the amount of time, effort and resources that have gone into creating the gardens, it is expected that those visiting will be participating in the u-pick. We do make exceptions if you are planning an event and wish to check out our selection of u-pick flowers to decide if our flowers are right for you. If this is the case, please email in advance to let me know when you will be visiting. countryjoyflowers@gmail.com

How does u-pick work?

Come out Monday - Saturday, 7am to 7pm, no appointment needed. Everything you need, containers, shears, and water are provided. Simply follow the instructions posted in the check-in shed and head out to the u-pick gardens to fill your chosen container. The gardens are always closed Sundays.

Are children allowed?

Absolutely! Picking flowers is a wonderful way to spend time as a family. However, they are expected to remain with you and should not be running around the gardens or pulling off flowers.

May we walk around the farm?

No. The u-pick gardens are open to the public and you are welcome to explore and enjoy this area of the farm. The rest of the farm is closed to the public.

May we take photos while picking?

You may certainly snap fun photos while picking flowers! We’d be happy to be tagged if you share them on social media! Any type of formal photos, however, do require a professional photographer. Garden rental fees for photographers can be found here.

I would like to have photos done in the gardens…do you provide the photographer?

No, you are responsible to provide your own photographer. Your photographer must have a photography business (website, insurance, etc.) Photography information is found here.

Do we need an appointment to pick if there will be several of us?

Nope! Our gardens are large and able to accommodate groups. However, if you have a large group of 10 or more each picking their own bucket, consider shooting us a heads-up message so we have plenty of buckets ready and waiting when you arrive. However, this isn’t necessary and you can feel comfortable just showing up.

When is a good time to pick?

Morning picking is always best in the summer when the flowers have cooled overnight. If the day is going to be really hot, arriving as early as possible is always recommended. Evenings are also good when the summer heat is reduced.

My event is Saturday, when should I pick and how should I handle them?

I typically prefer to pick two days ahead of events so there is ample time to work with the flowers. You will want to take your flowers home, change the water, and let them hydrate in the buckets for a couple hours in a cool room before arranging. Make sure any leaves below the water line are removed. The flowers will look great for several days, so picking two days in advance will not be a problem. Avoid putting them anywhere colder than an AC room and try to avoid putting them under a ceiling fan.

I’m picking for an event, is it okay if I bring helpers?

Absolutely! It may even be beneficial to come visit a week or so in advance and see what the gardens have to offer and what you want them to pick. Then assign your helpers to varieties or colors on picking day for utmost efficiency.

What size containers do you offer?

We offer a 2-gallon bucket and a 32oz cup.   U-Pick pricing information can be found here.
