AYLMER FARM FIELD GUIDE
An Evening of Hands-On Blooms at Howe Family Farm
A private, roughly 1.5-hour workshop outside Aylmer where groups tour the garden, cut their own flowers, and build a take-home arrangement—this guide explains what to expect and what to bring.
An Evening of Hands-On Blooms at Howe Family Farm.
At Howe Family Farm’s Private Flower Workshop you and your group spend a relaxed evening in a working cutting garden: a guided tour reveals what’s blooming, there’s time to wander, photograph and harvest stems, and an instructor helps you craft a finished arrangement to take home.
