Things To Do
A seasonal u-pick flower operation on Salmon River Road in Spallumcheen, growing sunflowers for a late-summer festival and tulips for a spring one.
Bloom Flower Festivals runs a seasonal u-pick flower operation at 4289 Salmon River Road in Spallumcheen, about five minutes north of Armstrong. The property is planted in sunflowers for a late-summer festival and in tulips for a spring one, with visitors walking the rows to choose and cut their own stems rather than buying pre-cut flowers from a shop.
A u-pick flower field runs on a different rhythm than most retail businesses, since the whole operation depends on a planting calendar and a bloom window that shifts a little from year to year with the weather. Fields like this are typically only open for a set number of weeks around peak bloom, and a festival built around a single crop tends to publish its opening dates for the current season rather than keeping fixed hours year round. Bloom has also built a charitable element into the visit, running a Food for Flowers initiative that supports the local food bank each season.
Checking the current season's dates before making the drive out is worthwhile for this kind of operation, since a u-pick field can close early if the flowers are picked out ahead of schedule or extend a week if the bloom runs late. That is ordinary for seasonal agricultural attractions generally, where the calendar follows the crop rather than the other way around.
