Livin’ sm(art) on the Happy Hill Homestead

EMBER HOLMAN / THE CHRONICLE Above is Cindy Ingram at her flower farm: The Happy Hill Homestead.

 An abstract artist is living on a happy hill in Cottage Grove, and she is inviting others to come and smell the flowers at her homestead.

The Happy Hill Homestead flower farm, run by Cindy Ingram, is open every Sunday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in July and August. Guests can grab a pair of provided gardening shears and pick as many flowers as they can fit in a bucket. On the way out, guests can pay whatever they feel is right. 

“It’s more about enjoying the experience than about a certain dollar amount,” she said.

Ingram also invites new artists every weekend, and displays and sells her own art.
