Old Mission Flowers

“I live at the base of Old Mission Peninsula. All year long I look forward to June and the summer months, when I can drive up to pick flowers here because they are so marvelously resplendent and they last so long. Right now I just went and I picked up an extravagant armful of lupine, poppies, irises, and early peonies. Yesterday it was my 50th birthday, and I was sent two professionally arranged bouquets. The professional bouquets are gorgeous, but they look almost plasticky next to the natural abundance of these blooms. We were at the flower farm as the sun was setting. The sunset, and the lake, and the flowers, it was a true "Anne of Green Gables" moment. I was filled with such gratitude. THANK YOU.”

“I cannot explain the joy this garden brings me every time I go pick flowers. I’ve been here every week for about the past month and it has become my weekly treat! You’ll sometimes find the owners out in the garden and be sure to ask them questions! I’ve gotten some good advice on properly picking and cutting some poppies and peonies to help ensure the longest lasting blooms. You might also catch a photo shoot or some outdoor painters, which is always a lovely treat. Take yourself and your tourists in town to this you pick flower farm again and again! You’ll always find a little magic, no matter what is in bloom.”

“We are vacationing in Traverse City for the week and this has been our favorite stop yet! This little place is beautiful and operates solely on the honors system. The little shed (pictured) has all of the materials and tools you’ll need to go pick a fresh bouquet of your liking. It is obvious that this place is the product of the owners amazing gardening skills and crazy amount of work and time. I would highly recommend stopping by, the flowers and the views are amazing.”

“Beautiful flowers and easy self service selection of vessels to choose from. I purchased an empty aluminum can to fit in my class B camper van and filled it with colorful, lively flowers to cheer me up on the road. Everyone deserves flowers even when you’re traveling solo.”

“My wife had a wonderful time wandering through the garden picking flowers. They have a nice little shed to get scissors, buckets or vases to put flowers in. You can then pay by venmo or cash donation”

“Highlight of my trip to the Traverse City area! Beautiful variety of flowers! I was pleased to see that Venmo was accepted! I Would definitely recommend stopping by!”

“The highlight of our trip! Such an amazing garden and with an idyllic experience to share with my daughters. Can't wait to make this a yearly tradition now ❤️”

“Well maintained and the flowers are gorgeous! Easy to use and the bouquets you create are wonderful. It is the perfect quick stop.”
