Celebrate Peony Season at Tanglebloom: Three Unforgettable Spring Events
Every spring, for just a few fleeting weeks, Tanglebloom Flower Farm bursts into one of nature’s most spectacular displays. Peonies paint the fields in soft blushes, crimsons, and creams—and this year, we’re inviting you to experience their brief, extraordinary beauty like never before.
Our new Peony Event Series brings together carefully curated artisans and regional partners to celebrate what makes peony season so magical. Whether you’re seeking wellness, beauty, or simply a moment of connection with nature, there’s an experience waiting for you.

Why Peonies Matter
“Peonies bloom for just a few weeks each year, and there’s something urgent and wonderful about that”; says Melissa Hessney Masters, founder of Tanglebloom. “This series is about inviting people into that moment—not just to see the flowers, but to actually be in them.”
Peonies are more than just beautiful cut flowers—they’re a symbol of abundance, romance, and the cycles of nature. At Tanglebloom, we grow specialty peonies as the heart of our working farm. The season is brief, intense, and utterly captivating. This year, we’ve designed three distinct events to help you slow down and savor every moment of this rare bloom.
Three Peony Experiences
Field & Facial (May 28)
Wednesday, May 28 | 10 AM - 5 PM | $150 per person
