Soak in a field full of peonies

The 2020 Festival of Peonies in Bloom is underway through the end of the month, allowing visitors to witness a field full of peonies in bloom. 

Wildcat Ridge Farm on the banks of the Pigeon River in Haywood County specializes in growing, propagating and selling the finest herbaceous Itoh intersectionals, Chinese tree peonies plants and fresh peony cut flowers. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day in May, the farm will be open to the public to enjoy a month-long celebration of blooming paradise. 

The farm will remain open amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as the 5-acre farm offers plenty of space for folks to spread out and the event never attracts a crowd all at once. 

The farm is located at 3552 Panther Creek Road in the Crabtree area of Haywood County. 828.627.6751 or www.wildcatridgefarm.com.
