5 picturesque flower farms to visit near Toronto this summer
FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
Last month, popular sunflower farm Boggle Seeds was forced to close early for the season after visitors caused absolute chaos on the surrounding streets while trying to take photos after only being open just over a week.
In case you didn’t have a chance to check out the sunflower farm this summer, we’ve rounded up five other stunning flower farms that are not only incredibly Instagram-worthy, they are all a relatively short drive from the city.
Terre Bleu Lavender Farm
Located just an hour north-west of the city, Terre Bleu lavender farm is not only the largest lavender farm in Ontario, it’s home to over 40,000 lavender plants, making it a must-visit for flower enthusiasts. Each year, Terre Bleu harvests nine different varieties of lavender in their fields, all of which bloom at different times during the summer season, creating picturesque colour in the fields from June through to the end of its season in August.
