Petal & Paint
Welcome to Petal & Paint at Adama Farm!
Join us for an unforgettable August afternoon at Adama Farm during peak summer abundance, blooms, and full-spectrum color.
Petal & Paint is a two-part guided workshop where you’ll design your own lush summer bouquet from fresh-cut farm flowers and paint a miniature still life of your creation on canvas.
Whether you're celebrating a birthday, planning a girls' day out, hosting your parents in town, or just looking to romanticize your summer, this is your sign to take a break from the city and indulge in nature, creativity, and connection.
What’s Included:
A bouquet-making tutorial led by our founder and farmer, Jessi Davies
A DIY farm-fresh flower bouquet in a mason jar
A guided painting session with one of our farmers and resident painter, Madison Roberson
A custom mini masterpiece of your bouquet, painted by you! (canvas + supplies provided)
Light farm-to-table snacks and refreshments
Time to explore, create, and relax
Plenty of fairytale photogenic backdrops among the flowers and trees
Location: 18317 Garden Valley Rd, Marengo, IL
