Bloomfest 2026
A Celebration of Daylilies & the U-Cut Flower Garden
July 18–19, 2026 | Chana, Illinois
Summer is in full bloom at Hidden Timber Gardens — and there’s no better time to visit than during Bloomfest 2026. This two-day garden festival celebrates the beauty of daylilies, the joy of our U-Cut flower garden, and the heart of the local gardening community.
Stroll through colorful display gardens, dig your own daylilies to take home, cut fresh summer blooms, and enjoy a relaxed weekend filled with flowers, music, vendors, and inspiration.
🌸 Daylily Dig Days of Summer
Bloomfest takes place during our Daylily Dig Days of Summer, the entire month of July, when our daylily gardens are at their peak.
Choose your favorite daylily varieties straight from our garden beds, and we’ll dig the clumps for you to plant in your own landscape.
Why daylilies?
Daylilies are hardy, low-maintenance perennials that return year after year with vibrant color. With hundreds of varieties in different colors, sizes, and bloom times, there’s something for every garden style.
How it works:
✔ Browse our blooming daylily beds
✔ Choose your favorites
✔ We dig the clumps
✔ You take them home to enjoy
🌻 Visit the U-Cut Flower Garden
Our U-Cut flower garden is bursting with summer color during Bloomfest! Wander through rows of blooming flowers and create your own fresh, seasonal bouquet.
Whether you love zinnias, cosmos, sunflowers, or classic garden favorites, cutting your own flowers is a fun, hands-on way to enjoy the beauty of the season.
