Review from Sam w.

We've been to this farm many times over the last 10 years and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. You can tour the fields of peonies, which is pretty fun (and a workout). But near the parking area, they've got pots of peonies laid out in rows labeled by the name of the flower and big wagons that you can load up w/said pots. They're not cheap, but they're not all super expensive either. The variety is kind of staggering.
They do specials throughout the season and have discounts the last weekend of the season, so look out for those. They also have a new show garden by the front house; it's a great way to see the flowers as they'd be in a garden. Even if you don't have a yard, this is a great place to come visit. -

A beautiful farm! The rows of seemingly endless peonies are simply breathtaking!
This family-run farm produces great flowers. (I'm not an expert, though.) You can buy plants at the farm by browsing the ones they have in containers, or you can order roots from their catalog. They do ship them to you. You can also see cut blooms and buy cut flowers in their showroom.
The farm is open for tours in May and June every year. Each weekend they have special events and offers - this year we went on Grandma day and my aunty brought her granddaughters and got four free cut peonies. On the first and last weekend of the season, they offer discounts on their peonies in containers
They offer so much information about the care of their plants and cut flowers. You can really tell that they care about their plants.
So far, we've only gotten cut flowers because we have no yard (yet!). But we certainly plan to go here for our peonies when we are starting our garden. My aunty has gotten different plants here over the years and most of them are still doing well in her Beaverton garden.
P.S. Their parking lot is gravel, but they keep it pretty level. -

Aahhh, flowers, I love them! When the farmers market opens in the Spring on the PSU campus, I go each Saturday I'm in town. I go for the produce and wonderful baked products, but my favorite things are the flowers.
For a month or so each June the peony's are in season. The Adelman Peony Garden sets up a booth at both the Saturday, as well as the Thursday Portland Farmers markets. I have found their flowers to be the largest, and longest lasting peony's at the market. Trust me, I have tried most of the booths there. This is a family owned farm, as are most of the farms represented at the market, which is one of the things I love! I think it's a three generation operation. I see the grandfather, father, and daughter/son working most weeks. They are so nice! Heck, one week, at the end of the day, the dad gave a bouquet to a new mom for free. I thought that was super sweet. They always give me great deals also.
I haven't ordered any of their plants, just bought the flowers. I can't imagine that they would have bad quality plants given the fantastic flowers I buy from them. Sometimes, they must be 10 inches across when they open all the way. I will try to put a pic on my profile of them so you can see what I mean. They will normally last an entire week if I cut the stems, and place them in warm water with a little sugar in the vase.
This was the last week that they will be at the market : ( They will be back next year though. If you have a yard, and need some gorgeous plants, this would be a great place to order from!Listed in: Born to Shop

This is peony paradise! I am not a huge gardening girl, but I know beautiful flowers when I see them. Took my mom and my girls to see hundreds of varieties of the most gorgeous flowers (peonies) on earth this holiday weekend. Each peony is amazingly different, colored in luscious hues and beautiful -- some even look like they are from outer space. This place is worth the drive -- check out the Cream Puff or the Bomb type peony -- the Red Charm. You can even purchase some to plant at home! #corvsmb
