Zinnia U-Pick Orchards in San Antonio area of Texas in 2024, by county

Below are the U-Pick orchards and farms for zinnias that we know of in this area.

Not all areas of a state have zinnias farms that are open to the public. If you know of any others, please tell us using the add a farm form!

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! If I cannot reach them, I DON'T GO!

Zinnia Picking Tips, and Information

Farms that offer U-pick or pick-your-own zinnias and other lowers are becoming more common.

• Once picked, quickly get the stems into water
• Get them out of the hot sun after picking to increase shelf life.  Cool shade is best.
• Pick off any leaves that will be under water.
• Re-cut stems while underwater - once you get home. Making a fresh cut, while the cut end is submerged helps the stem to take up water and avoid a vapor lock.
