The flower rows · July to early October
The rows face west, so the last hour of light comes through the dahlias rather than down onto them. You can book that hour, or the middle of the day with a blanket in it.
What you can book
Half an hour in the last good light.
The rows face west, so the hour before sunset comes through the dahlias rather than down onto them. Half an hour is enough for a family or a couple. Bring your own camera or your own photographer.
The whole light, not the tail of it.
An hour in the rows, which is the right length if there are several of you, if anyone is likely to change clothes, or if you would rather not watch the clock while the light does the interesting part.
Midday, in the middle of the flowers.
A blanket in the rows and an hour and a half that is yours. We put out the blanket and cut a jar of flowers for the middle of it. Bring your own lunch. Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Take the scissors down the rows.
Come and cut your own, which is a different thing from buying a bunch off the stand. We show you what is ready and what to leave, hand you the scissors, and let you take your time.
Ask for a slot
This holds a slot in our book. It is not confirmed until we say so, which we do by phone or email, usually the same day and always within two. Nothing is charged now and no card is taken. You pay at the farm on the day, cash or Venmo.
In the book
This is a request, not a confirmed booking. We will call or email to confirm, usually the same day. Keep the reference: it is how we find you if you need to move it.
If it is soon, or you would rather just talk to somebody, call (720) 751-1657.
The rows are on uneven ground and the paths are grass, so flat shoes are wiser than heels. There is no shade in the patch and no bathroom at the field, so plan for both.
We do not photograph anybody. You bring your own camera, phone or photographer, and the field is yours for the time you booked.
Rain moves things. If the weather turns we will call you and find another evening, at no charge.
