Our first stop on the Wild Western Prince Willaim County Farm Tour was actually LynnVale Studios. http://www.lynnvale.com/ We didn't get any pictures of the cut flower garden beds since it was raining steadily when we arrived, but here are a couple of pictures of the floral design and studio area inside of the converted dairy barn. Cut flower grower Andrea (in the brown coveralls), has quite a selection of both annual and perennial beds on the farm. It's always an advantage for flower growers to have the perennials ....... some of the work maintaining them can be done outside of the busiest times planting & harvesting from the annual beds. She has a large stand of curly willow along with many other shrubs. If you're interested in the cut flower business, here's an association link to check out:

After we enjoyed walking through the gardens and looking at the gallery and arrangements in the barn/studio, we picked up a bunch of dried sunflowers to take home.
