Canada’s 10 most lovely flower farms to visit this summer

Canada has many vibrant flower farms for you to visit this summer.While most working flower farms are closed to the public, a few scattered around Canada offer cut-flower sales, pick-your-own fields, and other opportunities to enjoy the blossoms in a gorgeous country. A few farms also provide special events like small flower-arranging workshops and interactive guided tours.

When organizing a visit, call ahead to avoid disappointment because certain flowers have very short growing seasons. Respect the farm’s guest policies, and don’t leave without bringing home an armful of freshly-cut blooms.
