Services from River's Garden Co. — U-Pick, Flower Truck, garden events, and markets in southeastern Manitoba
Services
Six ways in.
Pick the doorway that fits — U-Pick afternoon, surprise truck stop, long-table dinner among the rows. We'll meet you on the other side.
U-Pick in the Flower Garden
Walk the rows, choose your stems, leave with an armful. Book a window — we'll send the address with your confirmation.
- What to expect
- You walk the rows with snips and a bucket. We talk through what's blooming, how long it'll last in a vase, and which stems play nicely together. Bring a friend.
- What to bring
- Closed-toe shoes, a hat if it's sunny, and any vessel you'd like to fill. We have buckets if you forget.
- Best for
- A slow Saturday morning, a birthday, a gift you want to make yourself.
The Flower Truck
An old pickup loaded with the week's blooms, parked at a different spot each weekend. Pick your stems — we'll arrange the bouquet (or you do, while we wrap).
- What to expect
- An old pickup loaded with the week's blooms, parked in a different spot every weekend. Walk up, pick your stems by the stem or by the bunch — we'll arrange and wrap your bouquet, or you arrange and we wrap. Either way you leave with flowers.
- What to bring
- A smile and a soft spot for flowers. That's it — we handle the wrapping.
- Best for
- A walk-by impulse buy, a kitchen table refresh, an excuse to drive somewhere new.
Events & Parties in the Garden
Host your gathering in the flower garden. Birthdays, showers, intimate dinners surrounded by what's in bloom.
- What to expect
- We host you in the flower garden — a long table set among the rows. Small dinners, baby showers, birthday brunches, the kind of gathering that ends with people taking flowers home.
- Best for
- Groups of 8 to 30. Late June through early October.
Events & Parties with the Flower Truck
We bring the flower truck to your venue. A walk-up bar of seasonal stems for guests to arrange.
- What to expect
- The flower truck pulls up to your venue and becomes a walk-up bar of seasonal stems. Guests arrange their own bouquet to take home — somewhere between a centrepiece station and a party favour.
- Best for
- Weddings, milestone birthdays, corporate offsites that want a story to tell.
Pop-Ups
Surprise visits at cafés, shops, and partner spaces. Watch the Instagram for where we land next.
- What to expect
- Surprise visits at cafés, shops, and partner spaces — usually announced 48 hours ahead on Instagram. A small selection, big personality.
- Best for
- Following along on Instagram and grabbing flowers on your lunch break.
Markets & Pop-Up Festivals
We bring the flower truck to Manitoba's markets and pop-up festivals — flowers sold by the stem or the bunch.
- What to expect
- We bring the flower truck (no stall) to Manitoba's markets and pop-up festivals — flowers sold by the stem or by the bunch. Same picking model as the weekend stops: you pick, we wrap.
- Best for
- Saturday morning regulars, market loyalists, anyone within a half-hour drive of south Winnipeg.
