By Natalie Wednesday, October 13, 2021

One of the best parts about living in or visiting Ontario is that you’re never far from a rural area. Even if you live in a big city like Toronto or Ottawa you’re under an hour away from plenty of beautiful farms. As we soak up the last few weeks of Summer and the heat wave lifts let’s bring a splash of summer colour indoors. We’ve put together a list of some beautiful flower farms where you can frolic, picnic, and leave with a bright bouquet and an even brighter outlook.
