Flowers & Weeds Contest
Would you like to get married amid the rolling fields of lavender here at Glendarragh? Are you planning on getting married in 2026? Do you want to roll up your sleeves and dig into the soil to grow something beautiful? If you do, this contest is for you!
We want to give four lucky couples an opportunity to get married here at the farm, a place that has become both beautiful and restorative through a lot of love and hard work. We’re offering that beauty to you, free of charge, if you’re willing to spend a couple of days working alongside us on the farm to help nurture our flowers and your relationship. All you have to do is fill out this simple application and then we’ll select the finalists whose stories speak to us. A combined vote from your friends, family, and community online and our local judges will determine the final three couples who will get to call Glendarragh the home for their wedding. Applications close February 1, 2026 and final decisions will be announced on March 20, 2026.
We hope to open our doors and fields to couples ready to dig into the flowers and weeds with us and we can’t wait to hear from you!

The Winners will be publicly announced on Glendarragh Farm Lavender’s social media channels on or about March 20, 2026 (the “Selection Date”).
PRIZE EXPLANATION: Winners will receive the opportunity to hold their wedding at Glendarragh Farm Lavender at no charge in exchange for garden work done at the farm by the Winners, specifically two eight-hour days of labor by each member of the winning couple on dates to be mutually determined by the Winners and Glendarragh Farm Lavender but in no event later than October 31, 2026. Entrant understands and agrees that he or she will not be paid for such labor and shall receive no consideration therefore other than the opportunity to participate in the Contest. Prize-related expenses, including without limitation all costs and expenses of the Winners’ wedding, shall be the sole responsibility of the Winners.
