Visitors to the farm/gardens are amazed at the beauty they see . The flowers in bloom are indeed gorgeous and a sight to behold. And for our locals, those who had not visited the farm before were astounded that we have been at this location for over 5 years now and the number of peony varieties planted (over 2,500 peonies).
The gardens will be open to the public until June 28. 2015 from 11am to 4pm. Do come and visit!
From May 15 to June 28, Peony Farm is once again opening its farm to the public for the much awaited blooming of the peonies. During this 2 months window, peonies of different blooming periods (there are 7 of them) will be opening 7-10 days apart. This is why some peony lovers choose different varieties in order to enjoy an extended blooming period.
Peony Farm will be posting photos of peonies in bloom at:

Our Lord sees fit to bless us with good health, ongoing growth of the business, loyal following – both local and all over the USA, repeat customers, great vendors, great crop, improving efficiencies , and improved cash flow.
On the health side, I’ve had a successful skin cancer surgery, cataract surgery and I feel that I am on target in being “diabetes free” by February 2015.
On the relationship side, we are communicating better and that is a big plus!
This year, I found my way back to God and learning much to show my love and appreciation for all that He has provided for me now and in the past.
Thank you dear Lord for all the blessings.
Now celebrating our 5th Year, we are even more so enthusiastic about growing peonies.

During the months of May and June, we open the gates so that visitors can come and visit the peonies in bloom. Visitors from the Sequim Chamber of Commerce, local residents’ visiting family and friends, people visiting the Olympic Peninsula or the Twilight site of Edward and Bella – our customers, their family and visitors delight us with stories about their own peonies.
I’ve always felt that a visit to the Peony Farm is a way to de-stress, because of the comments we receive. They delight in the peace and beauty surrounding the farm, the fragrance wafting in the air from the peony blossoms and the variety of peonies. They are amazed to discover that there are some many varieties available.
Even non-peony lovers go home with a plant or two to bring back with them memories of their visit.
And, surprise of surprise, upon visiting the Butchart Garden in Victoria, BC, they discovered that Peony Farm is only 20 miles from the Port Angeles ferry! Definitely, Peony Farm is becoming a destination venue for people visiting the Olympic Peninsula along with Olympic National Park, Olympic National Forest, Hoh Rain Forest – check out venues at Destination at the Olympic Peninsula.
Do plan your visit next year! on our Annual Peonies on Parade.
Summer is that time of the year when Peonies continue to grow underground. Although you don’t need a lot of water, it is essential to water the peonies during these dry, hot months of summer.
Just at the end of the blooming season, Chris, my sister – harvested the rest of the blooming peonies and created some gorgeous arrangements with them.
By the way, for further information about the care of the peonies – you can go to our website at Peony Farm.
Also, ordering peonies for delivery this Fall 2014 is still available at: Peony Gardens 24/7 Online Shopping Cart.
Thank You to all who visited the Peony Farm
Each year we are graced by people who come to visit the farm. They bring with them their enthusiasm for peonies, their knowledge and experience and most of all, their friendship.
They are full of appreciation of the beauty and variety of peonies growing at Peony Farm.

The Annual Peonies on Parade hosted by Peony Farm ended June 29, 2014. However, the colorful memory of the peonies in bloom is still fresh in our mind. The remaining peony blossoms we harvested, from which my sister, Christina, wove her magic and created beautiful peony arrangements surrounded us for the week of the 4th of July.
Peony Farm is Awash with Color, peony flowers, and it is a sight to behold.
Until next year, we have these pictures to remind of 2014, where the peonies were exceptionally beautiful.
Peony Farm Website
Peony, representing elegance and dignity, enjoys the reputation of
“King of Flower Kingdom” and is considered as China’s national flower.
The Luoyang peony has a history of over 1500 years, and now boasts more
than 1200 kinds. Peony was named the city flower of Luoyang in 1982. And
the Luoyang Peony Festival has been an annual event in every spring
ever since 1983.
During the festival, Luoyang city is
fully alive and looks like an ocean of peonies, with fantastic colors
ranging from the original red to the supplemented white, yellow, purple
and even the rarest dark. Among all the species, “Yaohuang” and “Weizi”
peonies are the most noble ones and known as the “king” and “queen”.
Apart from the peonies displays, there are a wide range of performances
and activities: the dramatic opening ceremony, the peonies photography
contest, lantern fairs, the exhibitions of calligraphy and others.
This year its going to be held on April from April 16-28. The trip cost from $3,088.00 per person double occupancy (single supplement $700.00)
However, if time and money is an issue, how about taking a trip to visit Sequim, Washington where Peony Farm holds its annual peony festival called “Peonies On Parade“.
