The Vail Family Farm
Vail Family Farm PYO Flowers + Bouquet Making:
Join us for a flower-filled evening where you will receive a tour of the flower field, peony field, and high tunnel where the flowers are grown. Your tour will be followed by a bouquet-making demonstration, during which we will show you basic flower design and how we craft our signature Vail Family Farm mason jar bouquet arrangement. We’ll set you free to cut your own flowers and foliage, and provide all the tools you need to make your very own bouquet. This will be an unforgettable evening at the flower farm that we hope becomes a treasured memory, symbolizing the beauty of nature and the joy of spending time with loved ones.
