Flower Farms in Oregon: A Seasonal Guide to Garden Blooms
Oregon is filled with beautiful blooms as early as March and all the way into August.
Each month, a new flower varietal seems to be in bloom.
The beautiful gardens and flower farms will totally make you feel like you have traveled to a far far away land.
If you’ve ever seen a dreamy flower field on Instagram or Pinterest and thought, “OMG, where is that magical place?!”
Only to find out it’s in the Netherlands or tucked away in France… don’t worry, friend. I’ve been there too (emotionally, not geographically)
But here’s the good news. Oregon’s flower farms and gardens are just as magical and way closer than a transatlantic flight.
Either way, if you love blooms, Oregon is basically your flower farm dreams come to life.
Okay, real talk moment. No one really talks about it, but Oregon kind of keeps its beauty on the down low. It’s like this quiet little secret the locals lovingly guard, and honestly… I get it. It’s that special.
You just need to know where to go and when to go.
So grab your sunhat, clear some space on your camera roll, and let’s talk about the best flower farms in Oregon by season.
