Frequently Asked Questions
-
We grow over 75 different types of annual and perennial flowers. Many varieties and colours change each season. Some of the mainstays are peonies, dahlias, ranunculus, snapdragons, gladiolas, zinnias, sunflowers (in all colours and sizes) and many more!
-
We are not a certified organic farm, rather, we operate our farm with the belief that sustainable practices will build and maintain a healthy growing environment for our farm for the years to come.
This means that, whenever possible, we will choose methods that will protect the beneficial organisms, insects, flora and fauna that are part of the life cycle that promotes healthy plants. Healthy plants are strong and are better able to withstand any pressures that are present in the farming season.
-
The farm is our full-time job and is also our home. We welcome visitors to the farm during planned events throughout the growing season from spring to fall.
We open our You-Pick Flower gardens twice per week for ticket holders and we have a number of last minute flower sales that are announced a few days in advance on our social media.
We also accept bookings for private group workshops and flower picking parties. Find us on Facebook and Instagram to find out what we have going on.

With the demands of a small farm in the growing season, we base flower deliveries on availability of scheduling.
Contact us for delivery requests. We do charge a small fee for deliveries and we cover from Peachland to Kelowna.
For customers who are subscribed to our CSA subscriptions, they can be picked up at The Dirty Bee Flower Farm or one of our remote locations in Kelowna or Peachland.

How long fresh cut flowers will last is dependent on the type of flowers and the care and conditions in which they are kept. However, in general you can expect most fresh cut flowers last 5 to 14 days if properly cared for.
Please refer to our Flower Care page for instructions and handling.

Yes, we offer bulk flowers by the bucket for DIY as well as made to order floral designs for all types of events and special occasions.
Our flowers and foliage are always of the highest quality, fresh picked and in a broad range of colours and textures. We offer only the best of our harvest selected from what is in bloom during the week of your event.
If you are flexible about your flower choices and colours, this is a great option. For those with a more specific colour palette or bloom preference we will work to fulfill these preferences as long as these are in season.
We can also procure special order blooms in some cases.
