One of the largest Floral experiences in the Lower Mainland…read more
I visited on Opening Day of the Abbotsford Summer Flower Festival 2023
This 45 acres is a lot to walk, so be sure to where comfy walking shoes
It was easy to purchase tickets online (you can also purchase on site) for $10
Each person gets to pick 5 stems of Sunflowers, so plan accordingly with a small bucket of water if you don't plan to head home right away
I did not get home till 3 hours later, so the flowers were fine in the backseat
There was a person at the gate to give directions & scan our tickets. And one person at the Sunflower picking field to guide us. Its my first time at a flower U-Pick field, so any guidance was helpful. They give you shears to borrow to cut the flowers
There were large boards with maps on site to show the location of Sunflowers, Field flowers, and Lavender plants
(peonies, lupins and hydrangeas will be ready in 2024)
They had many photo opts set up: colorful benches, swings, picture frames, and even a boat!
My only complain during my visit was the there was no pathway to the Field Flowers section, so walking on the dry hay and grass, scratched my legs. Also, the pathways in the field are uneven, so may not be easy for some visitors
It was easy to spend an hour here, you can probably pack a snack too!
Once the flowers are picked, there is a tent available at the entrance to tape the flowers, trim off the leaves prepare for a simple bouquet
They have a hand wash station, portable toilets, and adirondack chairs for visitors to enjoy and relax
Overall, a pretty good experience, and would recommend to visit here on a dry sunny day. I would come back for the Abbotsford Tulip Festival
