MB is nearing the end of the 2025 U-Pick Season
Thanks so much to everyone who has visited this past week! Lots of return customers and new ones too. 🥰 So many beauties have left over the last few days! Oodles of flowers got picked! ✂️🪣 🌸🌺🌻 Here’s an update on what’s blooming now:
🌻Sunflower season is pretty much over. All of our main beds are spent and being enjoyed by the goldfinches. There are still some buds out there and a few that bloom each day now, but they get picked very quickly.
🌺New zinnias bloom everyday. The leaves are poor, but the flowers are beautiful. Strip them and you’ll fall in love. We are still finding stunning examples in all of the zinnia beds. There is also a lot of seed. Feel free collect spent flowers you love. You can add them to your container or we have $3 bags to fill, if you prefer to keep your seed seperate.
🌸The medium/ small size cosmos and marigolds are starting to come in. They also get picked fast on weekends. The taller cosmos and larger marigolds will be here anytime- there are lots of buds forming and by the end of the month, the front beds should be in full bloom. Our October flowers are mostly cosmos and marigolds with a bit of mallow and while U-Pick is not open in October, MB takes orders until frost.

MB U-Pick Experience
At Manchester Blooms, we have all of the supplies for your cutting experience. We provide 4 container sizes for a wide variety of flower needs. Guests may pick whichever size or sizes work best. We do require guests choose and use our Standard Size containers for U-Pick. Check out the examples and details in the photos for more information.
After choosing, customers are then able to fill their container with any flowers at MB. When the guest’s container is full and they are finished cutting, a decision can be made about whether or not they would like to take the container. Cups, Watering Cans, and Buckets are all included with purchase and are part of making sure your flowers arrive home in the best condition possible.
When customers are finished cutting, they may choose to split up their flowers or arrange them. Feel free! We have picnic tables available for this process. Also at this time, after all cutting is complete, customers may use rubberbands or string to tie and seperate any blooms. We discourage binding the flowers together to make more room and then going back out to cut and refill/ add more flowers to the container. This can result in more than double the amount of flowers meant for that price point and customers could be charged accordingly.
The approximate number of stems changes slightly based on variety type. This is an estimate based on MB history of mixed variety filled containers. It would be difficult to fill a cup with 50 sunflowers. Though we do grow them smaller on purpose, and have easily gotten 40 in a cup for an order, the size of stem impacts how many flowers can fit in each container. As always feel free to reach out with questions: 734-395-4460. We’re happy to help! 🪣🌸🌻

We want you to have your best U-Pick Experience!
Our mission is to encourage curiosity, creativity and positive mental health through a connection with nature. MB is a play -based, nothing fussy flower farm. The park-like setting is made up of 18 giant mass planted annual flower beds with large grassy walking rows. You are free to cut flowers wherever you want. You can walk around & inside any of the beds. You are welcome to explore. Go anywhere inside the farm’s natural sunflower barrier and cut away!
Manchester Blooms flower farm is full sun. It can be very hot. Please keep this in mind when you plan the time of day for your visit & bring your filled water bottle or favorite beverage to stay hydrated.
- Manchester Blooms is inclusive and leashed service animals are welcome. In consideration of other guests, we have chosen a pet-free garden.
- If you have a favorite pair of pruning shears, bring them. We have scissors available for those who would prefer to use ours.
- There is no wireless internet, power sources, or technology access.
- A 2- quart watering can makes about 2 bouquets and the 9-quart bucket makes anywhere from 3-5. Our buckets and watering cans are for you to fill and take.
We can’t wait to share our vision with you. Come! Cut flowers, relax, watch the butterflies, take a stroll through the sunflower walk, and connect with nature.
Thank you for your support!
Your business is important to us.- MB
