June Blooms, Tunes & Giveaways: Celebrate Father’s Day & More at Holden Lake Farm & Garden! 🌿🍓🎶
June is bursting with excitement here at Holden Lake Farm & Garden! We’ve got a heartwarming lineup of events to celebrate Father’s Day, gardening season, and community connection — and we can’t wait to welcome you to the farm.
🐾 Ask Dirk Anything – Saturday, June 14 at Noon
Got garden questions? Curious about compost? Wondering why your tomatoes look sad? Dirk’s your guy! Join us at noon on Saturday for an Ask Dirk Anything chat — a casual Q&A where you bring the questions and Dirk brings the answers.
And while you’re there, consider donating to Dirk’s annual SPCA fundraiser! Every year, he raises money for animals in need, and this year is no exception. Let’s show him and the furbabies some love:

🎸 Father’s Day Celebration with Flashback Freddy – Sunday, June 15
Bring your dad, your granddad, or someone who’s been like a dad — and treat them to a chill afternoon of tunes, strawberry treats, and good company.
Looking for something special to do for the Paternal Human in your life? Come down to the farm this Sunday and enjoy a few hours of music with Flashback Freddy — one awesome dude who’s played everything from rock & roll to acoustic folk and country. He’s a retired logger who knows how to get toes tapping and hearts smiling. 🎵
🌱 Kokedama Make & Take Workshop – Saturday, June 20
Following the Q&A, sign up for a creative session with floral artist Toby. From 1:00–2:30pm, he’ll be guiding us through making your very own Kokedama — a Japanese moss ball planter that’s a stunning addition to any space.
Cost: $40 for the workshop
- $20 optional wall mount
🌿 RSVP online, at the farm or message us on social media!
