Make an appointment to spend time in our
cutting garden and
create your own bouquet!
Experience the pleasure of creating your bouquet, from start to finish…and snap some photos, too!
The cutting garden is open by appointment only
until frost.
Email or call to arrange a time to come out—contact info at the bottom of the page.
Cut your own bouquet to enjoy at home or work. We will supply a cutting cup and clippers.
Spend some rejuvenating time in the flowers,
including 2,000 dahlias!
Cost:
Cutting Cup - $25 (includes Garden Stroll)
The cutting cup will hold approximately 15-25 blooms, and it will ride nicely in your car’s cupholder for the trip home!
Location:
At the corner of Hwy 30 and V40/13th Avenue in Benton County, north of Belle Plaine and west of Keystone.
** Enter “Pheasant Run Farm - Sunflower Experience” into Google Maps for directions to the Cutting Garden entrance.
Once you’ve turned north on V40/13th Avenue, you will drive about 1/8 mile on gravel. Look for the field entrance on the east (right side), follow the drive, and you’ll see a large grassy area for parking.
PLEASE NOTE: The Cutting Garden is NOT at our Van Horne location.
What to Wear: Sturdy walking shoes—this is a field, after all!—and comfortable clothing appropriate for being outdoors.
What to bring: Your camera! If you have a favorite pair of clippers, bring them—if not, we’ll supply them.
No alcoholic beverages or smoking.
Facilities: No restrooms will be available on site.
Dogs: We love dogs! If they are visiting with you, they need to be leashed, well behaved, and you will need to clean up after them. If your dog is interfering with the other visitors’ enjoyment of the cutting garden, we may ask you to remove them.
Photographers:
Professional photographers can make an appointment to use our cutting garden for photo shoots. Cost is $50 for the first hour and $25 an hour for additional hours.
