WilMor Farms
This Candler County farm is on 7th generation family land. Owners Mike and Rita Williams grow their flowers with their four children. These two UGA Alumni also grow stock, dianthus, snapdragons, strawflowers and campanula, and yarrow among a lot of other flowers. Rita gives a beautiful tour of the farm since I am being honest, but If you can't make it to their adorable place, you can find their flowers at the Augusta Market, Forsyth Farmer's Market in Savannah and in Statesboro. WilMor is Georgia Grown and certified American Grown and available wholesale to local florists. Check out their full story in Scout Savannah, here.

This Clayton, Georgia farm is quietly nestled just off of Highway 76 with the Appalachian foothills as the backdrop. You may not see a soul at their sweet, self-serve farmstand, where the honor system of cash, check, or PayPal reigns. You can load up on flowers and herbs and veggies any day, sunup to sundown, or find their goods at the market at Osage Farms and at the Piedmont Park Farmer's Market in Atlanta.

Southern Grace Farms
Far from the crowds of any city, Southern Grace Farms in Enigma offers "u-pick" flowers that are run by my cousin, Jennifer McMillan. The 8th generation farm, near Tifton, is in Berrien County and still run by family. The grounds are a sight for sore eyes when blanketed in the bright colors of the blueberries, strawberries, peaches, muscadines and those sunflowers! Officially Georgia Grown, they have a store and offer attractions during the year like a car show. If you are lucky you might see Jennifer at the store and get some homemade Peanut Ice Cream. Tell her that her cousin, Christy sent you! :)

Red Oak Lavender Farm
This Dahlonega farm is practically a miracle. According to Perri Ormont Blumberg in Southern Living Magazine, "This is a gorgeous spot to shoot special occasion photos for adults, we're also swooing for how darling little ones look in a lavender ensemble, playing amongst the fields." This is one place I haven't seen in person but according to their website, owners David and Tina are "able to remember and honor our grandparents" through growing the many stems of cufflowers including Allum, Dahlia, Larkspur, Tulips, Allium, Delphinium, Phlox, Stock, Coneflower, Penstemon Yarrow, Russian Sage, Lupine, Wisteria, and Loofas and more. I, too, feel connected through flowers with loved ones I have lost like my grandmother and dad so that's reason enough to add this to my list.

Wolf Creek Trout Lily Perserve

Wolf Creek Trout Lily Preserve
One of Georgia's most unique and stunning sights is in Cairo. It is the largest and most dense collection of trout lilies in the WORLD. Some time in February or March, tens of millions of gorgeous yellow flowers bloom covering 15 acres of this natural preserve in south Georgia near the Florida line. The irony of these flowers is that they are very uncommon in this area of the USA. In fact, scientist think they are only here because of north facing slopes and a migration back during the ice age. When the Ice Age ended, these lilies were left in spots in southwest Georgia and north Florida.
"When their nodding, freckled, bright yellow flowers come into peak bloom from mid to late February, it is one of Georgia’s most amazing natural spectacles," said Charles Seabrook in the Atlanta Journal Constitution. "I was left breathless by the sight of the millions of blooming trout lilies blanketing 15 acres of forested, north-facing slopes, like a huge, yellow carpet stretching as far as the eye can see through the open woods," Mr. Seabrook continued.
