Have you ever noticed how flowers brighten the landscape? Even a vase filled with colorful flowers in our dining room or living room adds an extra dose of cheerfulness to our home. While plenty of shops sell fresh flowers, you just can't beat a visit to a flower farm where you can pick your own flowers in Pennsylvania. But that's just the beginning of the fun that awaits at one of the best flower farms in Pennsylvania.

Stroll through breathtaking fields of flowers at Simmons Farm in McMurray, one of the best flower farms in Pennsylvania, where you can stop to smell the flowers and even pick your favorites.

When you arrive at the popular farm, drop by the farm market to pick up a bucket and scissors and to get directions to the fields. (You'll have to drive to them.) You'll also have to pay a $5 deposit, which will be returned when you bring back the bucket and scissors.

If you've been Googling "pick your own flowers near me," you've just found one of the best places to do just that.

Wear comfy shoes since you'll be walking through grassy fields and so you can fully enjoy the experience. Simmons Farms recommends cutting the freshest flowers, which will last the longest.

Pennsylvania flower farms, like Simmons Farm, are generally kid-friendly, promising plenty of fun for visitors of all ages.

The flower fields provide an idyllic backdrop for photos and selfies, too, so take your time.

Be prepared for some uneven ground since you'll be in the fields. Kids 17 and younger must bring a parent along, and there's a one-bucket minimum for two adults.

After you've filled your bucket(s), head back to the farm market for a refund of your deposit and so you can return the bucket(s) and scissors.

The fun doesn't stop there. Stop by the petting zoo to meet the friendly animals - goats and pigs, for example.
