Farm Trails Weekend is Here!

Join us for the Sonoma County Farm Trails Fall Tour! Walk the farm, enjoy the fall flowers, visit the Poultry Palace, and find some nice fall perennials to plant in your garden! We’ll be open from 10AM to 4PM both Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 14-15.

 

We will be offering several tours, each lasting about 45-60 minutes.

  • The Buzz About Bees: Learn what the bees are doing at this time of year as they prepare for winter. Includes a visit to the top-bar beehive with a window, so you can see the bees at work.
  • Preparing your garden for winter: Fall is a busy time in the gardens here at Bees N Blooms, as we use the principles of regenerative agriculture to boost our soil health, beat the weeds, give perennials a head start, make sure the native bees are taken care of, and make the farm resilient in the face of winter rains. Join us to learn how to apply these techniques to your own garden!
  • Lavender Processing: Learn about different lavender varieties and how we process our lavender here at Bees N Blooms to make lavender buds and lavender essential oil and hydrosol.

Sign up here to reserve your spot!

Don’t forget to stop by the Farm Stand to check out our perennial plant sale. Buy one, get the second one half off! We have a selection of lavender, California natives, and pollinator-friendly ornamentals to beautify your garden and feed the pollinators, as well as our $10 tree sale.

The honey harvest is in too, with honey from a selection of Sonoma and Marin County beekeepers!

See you on the farm!

  1. Hi. I did not find you until after the farm trails weekend. Do you still have plant sales? If so, when are you open?
    Thanks!
