You Can Cut Your Own Flowers At The Festive Moonflower Farms In Alabama

Moonflower Farms in Fort Payne is one of the many lovely spaces in Alabama. While most of the state's farms grow vegetables, several others grow beautiful flowers throughout the year. From mid-March to early April, the field features 30,000 tulips of different colors and varieties. Summertime brings such blooms as hearty zinnias, bright sunflowers, delicate dahlias, strawflowers, celosias, cosmos, amaranth, marigolds, gladiolus, and ageratum. Let's find out why this U-pick destination is one of the best flower farms near me.

Moonflower Farms is located atop of beautiful Sand Mountain honoring this family-owned land that has been farmed for generations.

Established by Laura and Eddie Houk in 2020, one of the best U-pick farms in Alabama has welcomed numerous visitors of all ages from across the North Alabama region and beyond.

Laura's parents, Ralph and Ruth Patterson, were especially proud of the moonflowers that decorated their porch, so the name comes from that lovely vine that blooms only at night.

The staff grows a variety of flowers beginning in springtime with the gorgeous tulips.

Expect to see 30,000 tulips blooming this season, and you can keep the bulb! Tulips are available by the stem or by the dozen.

As the season moves on, sunflowers, gladiolas, and others start blooming.

Expect to find zinnias and marigolds, to the lovely Ageratum, one of the few annuals with a blue flower and a delightful scent.

A great selection of fillers for the perfect bouquet is also available at one of the prettiest flower farms in Alabama.

We love to walk among our rows and see what color combinations work the best.

Upon arrival, you receive a basket and you are free to pick your favorites.

And consider the farm when planning special events for your friends, bridesmaids, birthday parties, or family retreats.

Before leaving Moonflower Farms, don't forget to visit the gift shop.
