Indiana Flower Farmer Festival

08/25/2025

Sadly, due to low registration this year we have decided to cancel the full day event. A couple of the gardens on the tour hope to have open garden times mid September, stay tuned. I will be reaching out to the 6 that registered. Next year we will aim to schedule it farther from the ADS Convention.

Our first tour of the day wil be at Enchanted Acres. As we get closer we will post some car pool points for those interested.
…….
Tucked away in the peaceful countryside, Enchanted Acres flower farm is located in rural Adams County Indiana where whimsical flowers grow and nightly sunsets glow! Growing flowers has been a lifelong love — one that started in childhood and blossomed into a farm filled with beauty, joy, and a little bit of magic. Surrounding our home are acres of lovingly tended gardens where we specialize in cut flowers like peonies, lisianthus, and dahlias. Looking forward to meeting you and sharing our small piece of a fairy tale with you!

Over the next week we will be highlighting the farms on this year’s flower tour! Registration is open !!!

First up, Willow Lane Flower Farm
…………..

Nestled down a long, secluded lane lined with willow and other native trees on the northwest side of Fort Wayne, Willow Lane Flower Farm offers a breathtaking display of over 1,000 dahlias plants, showcasing more than 500 unique cultivars. Visitors are invited to stroll through the vibrant gardens, experiencethe blossoms in person, examine plant foliage for health, and create a personalized wishlist of their favorite dahlias in preparation for our highly anticipated spring dahlia tuber sale. Throughout the tour, the farm curator will be on hand to answer questions and share insight into the care and characteristics of these stunning blooms. We kindly ask that guests enjoy the beauty respectfully and refrain from taking any plant material during their visit.
