    A visitor writes on September 04, 2010:     "This farm made my day today. My friend Linda and I had so much fun picking flowers there, we will be going back again and again. The 2 ladies working there were just wonderful I really wish I had known about this place sooner."
    A visitor writes on August 09, 2009: "Cottage Gardens in Duvall continues to be wonderful -- over 300 bushes in at least a dozen different varieties, planted in rows so you can find your favorite or pick a mix, as you choose. It's been a while since they pruned some areas, so hardy souls can bushwhack a little for really heavy picking. The price is up to $2/lb but it's well deserved!"
    A visitor visitor writes in July, 2008: "My son and I have gone to this farm for two years now, and they are great! They have such a wide variety of strains that there is always something in season throughout the summer, even after most farms are out. Their bushes are large and there is a conifer forest at the end of the rows, so there is shade! The drive out on Kelly road is so worth it, as there is construction on cherry valley road and you MUST take Kelly road out. We pick two buckets in about thirty minutes and spend under $10. The late season varieties are even sweeter than early summer."  Another visitor writes: "I live right down the street from Cottage Gardens. This was my first year picking blueberries there. The couple who own the gardens are very nice people. Blueberries were only $1.25/# (at least near the end of the season). I have only picked on the front section of the property and they have 7 rows with each being a different variety of blueberry. The gal there said in overall they have over 400 bushes on the property. Highly recommended!"
    Another visitor writes (July 9, 2007): "We have picked there the last 2-3 years. They have a variety of different blueberries that ripen over the season. The patch is in a pretty, wooded area, and the owners are very nice. Great place to pick blueberries!" Yet another visitor writes on August 10, 2007: "This was a fantastic place! We went this afternoon and it was wonderful! The owner was delightful - friendly and informative about the different types of blueberries. She chatted with us while we picked (and she was picking and adding to our buckets!) The variety of berries was great - we didn't know there were so many kinds and it was fun to pick a "blend". We would highly recommend this farm!".

The beautiful Mount Si is in the background and it feels like you are back on your Grandmother's farm. The flowers are gorgeous and the owners Aimee & Jerry are so friendly and helpful. They seem to be very knowledgeable about their product and by the looks of the field they certainly know their dahlias. Also, the prices are very reasonable for cutting. I have purchased their bulbs and am now growing beautiful dahlias myself. The bulbs are of utmost quality as every one I planted came up and put on a beautiful display. Would highly recommend a trip out to North Bend which in itself is a very scenic small town and you can always stop by the famous Twin Peaks restaurant and see the actual place where the TV show originated. Also, their cherry pie is to die for."
