Who We Are
How the Bouquet Corral started:
Hi! I'm Terrie Westman, Owner of The Bouquet Corral, LLC in Grand Ledge, Michigan.
I started our flower farm after retiring from working for GLPS in 2020, as a therapeutic escape. Born of Covid, I had no prior flower experience, but time on my hands to learn. I had a need to be among nature, and to share my newfound outlet with others. Our place that we have created from the remains of a dairy barn torn down in 2019, is so unique. My husband repurposed as much of the barnwood that he could, creating a greenhouse and bar within the old milking parlor. The atmosphere is amazing. If you haven’t had a chance to check us out, please try and do so this summer and fall. We will have flowers beginning in mid to late June through October. We have a variety of offerings at our Flower farm, from group Bouquet Bars, Subscriptions, Farm Stand Bouquets, Event Flowers & new this season “Coffee at the Corral”. Just a few short months ahead of us before we start season #5. If you’d like more information, scroll through the website and check us out!
Photography Sessions
Photography sessions or other film/DSLR camera images, such as senior pictures, engagement pictures, or family pictures, must be arranged in advance and site rental fees will apply.
Photography session bookings include private and nearly unlimited access to our entire farm, including the flower fields and the porches of our farmhouse. Session rates are based on one photographic subject, i.e., one family, one couple, one senior. Thus, photographers wishing to book consecutive sessions with multiple photographic subjects (such as 1/2-hour mini sessions) would pay the 1/2-hour rate for each family/couple/senior.

Workshops
Dried flower workshops coming this fall! We're thinking of wreaths, shadow boxes, witches' brooms, and metal hoop wreaths (see pictures in gallery) message us if there's something specific, you'd like to see us offer!
Private Bouquet Bars
This activity is great for:
- Girls' night out.
- Team building.
- birthday celebrations.
- Bridal/baby showers!
Expect for this amazing experience to take 2 full hours. We start with a tour of the gardens and then everyone is turned loose to pick their own blooms. Once you have gathered your blooms in milk jugs, we come back to the corral, around the bar and you receive instructional tips on how to build your own beautiful bouquet. Your jar or vessel is provided. You are welcome to bring your own refreshments and snacks.
Dress comfortably for the outdoors!
