Oh I’ve never been to Birdsong Gardens but now am curious! I think you’ll love Adelman peony garden – the blooms are simply gorgeous.

I will visit this Fall! So happy to find another peony farm! I’ve been to the farm in Tualatin–Birdsong Gardens & Nursery. It was lovely and also family run.

In reply to Kathy Rayley Carpeneti. Hi Kathy, you'll have to check with Adelman Gardens. I'm not affiliated with them.

Are you open now, and how about on Sundays?

In reply to Eden. Isn't that remarkable how some things, especially scent, can transport us? Thank you for sharing that about your dad and the mystery flowers. :)

In reply to Danielle. So true! Peonies don't have a super strong scent, which is actually nice because strong flowers can give me a headache sometimes. There was just enough perfume in the air to make this Oregon peony farm feel even more magical.

In reply to Gemma | mum off the map. I think the flowers are the perfect height for toddlers - high enough so they feel like they're entering a magical tunnel, but not so high that they get lost.

In reply to Heather @ US Japan Fam. YES! I bet NY has some great flower farms too. Our climates aren't that different.

In reply to Lesley. Oh no, ants in the house sound terrible! I've considered cutting my peonies to bring them inside but I love to see them bloom along the path to our front door. I think I'll just get cut peonies from Adelman Gardens instead. ;)

Thank you Valerie! We’re practically neighbors – it wouldn’t be too far a drive for you!

In reply to Marina. We're so lucky in the Willamette Valley to have such incredible growing seasons!

In reply to Christina. Thank you very much, Christina, for my kind words. I smile every time I think of my Pretty Grandma and I'm glad you connected with that part of my story too. :)
