Please see information regarding cutting flowers at the Ridgeland Zinnia Field located at City Hall (100 W. School St.). It is the best place to go to cut a bouquet. The zinnia patch at City Hall is planted in rows so there is easy access to the flowers.

There is no commercial cutting but local businesses are also welcome to cut a bouquet for their front desk or office.

Cutting at the Ridgeland Wildflower Field & Art Park (411 W. Jackson St.) is suspended currently so that the flowers there have time to flourish and support the local ecosystem.

We’re so honored to receive the Social Butterfly Award! 💕

There’s nothing we love more than bringing people together over a cup of tea. Thank you to everyone who has supported our little tea room and made it such a fun place to gather, laugh, and connect. This award means so much to us! 🩷
