U-Pick Flower Field will open in July 2024
Thank you so much to everyone who visited our farm this year and supported our journey. We can’t wait to host you in our fields again soon.
Join our email list at the bottom of the page to stay in the loop about farm updates throughout the year.
Our U-Pick is open from July - September on select days and times. For weather updates and current times we are open, please see our calendar, Facebook or Instagram. The U-Pick is located on our family farm and is only open to the public during the scheduled dates and times. We are not a public park; we are a privately owned business that welcomes all paying customers.
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU VISIT
We ask that you please bring your own scissors or garden pruners with you to cut flowers.
Be sure to bring your own clean bucket to transport your flowers home in. We provide options for you to cut into but ask that you bring your own buckets for our larger U-pick sizes. See pricing for details.
Sometimes Mother Nature can make our fields a little soggy and slippery, so be sure you bring appropriate footwear.
Sunglasses, water bottles, hats, and sunscreen can make our sunshine-filled fields a lot more enjoyable during the hot summer months.
Our fields are wheelchair and stroller accessible.
Some people enjoy wearing gloves, as a few plants might have scratchy leaves and sap.
We welcome you to take photos of the flowers and your experience on the farm to share with your friends. #wildrootflowerco #wildrootblooms
We do not allow professional photography sessions during our U-Pick.
We do not allow animals of any kind on our property. Please email hello@wildrootflowerco.com in advance if you have a registered service dog.
PRICING
We offer 3 price points for our U-Pick flowers.
We don’t want to take away from your experience on the farm by counting the stems you have but we do ask that you respect the value and don’t overstuff your cup or bucket and make sure all your flower stems are in the water. If you have questions we are more than happy to help you while you are here.

DIRECTIONS
(Please read because your GPS is not accurate)
Our Farm is located at 315 Forshey Road, Marietta, Ohio 45750
We recommend following these directions:
Turn onto Browns Road off of Route 7 (DO NOT turn on Forshey Rd.)
Go 0.1 (500 ft) until you see the first driveway on the right and our farm sign.
Turn right there. The driveway is gravel.
Come up the drive to the gray and white buildings and look for parking signs on your left.
ONCE YOU GET HOME
We do not recommend leaving your flowers in a hot car and try to keep them out of direct sunlight.
I am sure we have all smelled the terribly smelly old flower water. Just rinsing it out before the next use is not good enough. The most important thing to keep your flowers fresh is starting with a clean vase or jar at home. Using hot soapy water or even a touch of bleach to clean it after each use is super important. Bacteria in the water clog the stems’ ability to take up water and will drastically reduce vase life.
Give the stems a fresh cut at a 45-degree angle before putting them in the clean vase(s) at home. This maximizes the surface area for water uptake.
Be sure there are no leaves below the water line in the vase. This will cause the water to build bacteria quickly.
We recommend every 2-3 days changing the water and giving the stems a fresh cut on the bottom.
Keeping the flowers away from direct sunlight will also extend their vase life.
