Sunday Funday: U- Pick Flowers

Hey Socialites! 
This past weekend, I went to two different U-Pick flower fields in the Washington/Romeo area and had so much fun gathering all the flowers together and creating little bouquets of flowers for around the house! 

Both places I went (which I'll share below) were awesome about keeping all the tools sanitized, wearing masks and offered areas where people could wash or sanitize their hands afterwards. This is a fun date day activity or if you have littles, its a great family event too! 

Below is a round up of a few locations for gathering your own flowers, including where I went this weekend! All websites are linked as well! 

                                

Vanhoutte Farms | Armada, MI 

So many types of flowers to choose from, including a  wide variation of sunflowers (I had no idea there were as many types of sunflowers as there are!) 

Westview Orchards | Washington, MI

Great COVID precautions in place and just had their sunflower Fest! So many beautiful variations of sunflower to choose from! 

Brightmoor Flower Farm | Detroit, MI 

Has select dates to check out their gardens! 

Manchester Blooms | Manchester, MI 

Great reviews on their COVID precautions! 

Let me know if you check any of these locations out this weekend! 

Love from Detroit,

Hey Socialites! 

Long time, no posts! I know, I know- I haven't been super active on the blog for literally OVER A YEAR. However, I do have an explanation for this... 

I GRADUATED WITH MY MASTERS DEGREE!

This past year has been a crazy whirlwind as the Masters Program I completed is a 2-year degree ( 5 semesters) I completed it in 14 months (4 semesters)! I honestly thought I could use "downtime" to work on creating content and exploring the city, however, I literally had no downtime, or if I did, I would spend it out hiking, kayaking or straight up catching up on house work. Since my program was online, I often didn't feel up to writing blog posts after typing up 15- page reports or even worse, dreaded discussion board posts and comments (#iykyk). 

                                                        

During this time though, I really did miss getting out and about and writing about my favorite places I visited and sharing that with you all. With that said, There will definitely be more content on the blog. I'll be sharing more of my favorite locally-owned businesses and events coming up in the Metro Detroit area, since I think we're all getting a little stir crazy during quarantine. 

Be sure to head back later this week to look for some events coming up this weekend! 

XO XO, 

Marisa Quinn
