We are a cut flower farm that focuses on you pick bouquets and bouquets create for market sales. Our cut flower farm is also home to the owner’s art studio in which he creates nature inspired art that you will see throughout the garden area. We have a special 10-acre remnant prairie that has never been plowed/turned over. It boasts over a hundred species of native grasses and wildflowers documented by the Kansas Biological Survey rendering it one of the highest graded prairies in our area. Walk our prairie will give you a visual historical perspective of what American Indians and Pioneers would have seen as they walked this land.
I grow cut flowers from seed and bulbs and flowers that people will be able to cut for their own bouquets. I will be available to share my process of growing the flowers.
Enjoy self-guided tours of our special remnant native prairie. Signage that will speak to its ecological significance. The public will have the opportunity to wander our prairie paths.
Kids: Kid friendly art activity and the opportunity to pick flowers with their family and walk our prairie.
