October Almanac: Fall Happenings
Dear Park Winters Family,
To celebrate one of our favorite seasons, we are bringing you a host of Fall activities to give you plenty of reasons to come out and visit the farm. Enjoy our new Dried Floral Experience, Gather & Create classes and Fall Family Photo Sessions! We are also expanding our pop-up Marketplace so you can start your holiday shopping early or grab some goodies for yourself! You can shop online before arriving and pick up during your visit.
Since you have signed up for our newsletter, you are the first to hear about all of these exciting offerings and get first dibs to make reservations for our Fall experiences before they sell out!
A New Dried Floral Experience
We are so excited to offer this brand new experience! Now you can pick and arrange your own dried flower bouquet in our dreamy old barn. We’ve been preserving our favorite spring and summer blooms to offer this unique artisanal experience that will bring your inner creative to life. We invite you to clip the last of our beautifully dried Fall blooms from the flower rows on our farm, then fill the rest of your bucket with colorful preserved flowers and plants that have been collected inside our barn.
This new experience starts on October 22, the weekend after our last Pick Your Own Bouquet experience of the year! Come between the hours of 9-11am to arrange your dried flower bouquet.
Fall Gather & Create Classes
We have added a lot of Gather & Create classes to our schedule this year to prep you with all the Fall essentials including Day of the Dead/Halloween Wreaths made with dried marigolds and chiles, Foraged Wreaths, Pumpkulents, Fall Flower Crowns, Dried Flower Wreaths and Fall Flower Bouquets! We are limiting each class to 15 people so be sure to grab your tickets before they sell out. We are partnering with some of our favorite local creatives who inspire us including our Capay Valley local @FarmerHands.
Fall Family Photo Sessions
Sunflower season is not over... at least not at the Farm at Park Winters! We have 250-300 lemonade sunflowers opening up next week so for a limited time we are including sunflowers in your Bouquet or Bucket package! That's right, we will be waiving the sunflower add-on so you are free to pick as many as you'd like to take home with you! Schedule a Pick Your Own Bouquet experience today, available every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8:30am - 10:30am.
New Garden Tour Dates
Enjoy the cooler Fall weather during a Garden Tour. Take a stroll through our gardens and witness the seasons changing as we guide you through the history and inspiration behind our designs. You'll also learn how we harvest and collect seeds from our gardens during harvest season!

To celebrate Hispanic Heritage month we are featuring a Havana Club themed wedding that had an “hora loca” complete with a Samba dancer!
A Chat with Farmer Ryan
Q: Hey Ryan! What's going on at the Farm?
Ryan:
We are growing cauliflower, cabbage, onions, broccolini and planting seeds for cover crops. This is an essential practice during this time of year as it helps manage soil erosion and fertility, as well as helps retain water and controls weeds, pests and other diseases. We're also starting flower seeds in our grow room including lisianthus, snap dragons, foxglove, yarrow and digitalis. But the most exciting thing happening this October will be harvesting our pumpkins! Our pumpkin and gourd trellis is also pretty cool to walk through!
If you'd like to learn more about our farm, book a tour with Farmer Ryan.
End of the Season Flower Picking
Book a Pick Your Own Bouquet experience before the season ends on October 16! Some flowers have started to dry out beautifully in the field which add a nice touch to your Fall bouquet. If you haven't already experienced Pick Your Own Bouquet, this is your last chance until next year!
