About us

Lily Pad Acres is a small, family-owned and operated farm in the heart of the North Fork's wine country. Although LPA was officially founded in 2018, generations of our family have been farming here for over 250 years. The farm is currently owned by renown artist Diane Alec- Smith, and ran by her daughter Jenny Smith - Gugliada.

Here, we believe in the magic of flowers, and the powerful joy they bring to earth. Each bloom is carefully cultivated with love and dedication, ensuring that our fields are bursting with color, fragrance, and life. Whether you're looking to purchase the perfect bouquet, seeking a quote for a special event, or simply wishing to immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature, our farm is an all-inclusive haven.

Lily Pad Acres is also a photography and intimate event venue, providing a unique setting for capturing life’s most cherished moments. With a wide variety of stunning natural scenery, it’s the ideal place for small weddings, family portraits, engagement sessions, and maternity photoshoots. We partner with talented photographers who share our passion for showcasing the beauty of life through the lens, ensuring that every picture tells a story.

FROM OUR CHERISHED CUSTOMERS AND CLIENTS

  • “We used Lily Pad Acres for our wedding florals. Jenny from Lily Pad Acres was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding. She’s not just a florist—she’s a flower farmer, which means she works with you to envision your dream wedding florals and then actually grows many of the flowers herself. The entire process—from design to growing to arranging—was so thoughtful, artistic, and deeply personal.

    It also felt amazing to use mostly locally grown flowers. Jenny was so positive, communicative, and helpful every step of the way. She created the most beautiful ceremony arch, designed stunning wildflower-inspired table arrangements, and my bouquet was a true beachy wildflower dream. Jenny and her flowers brought so much joy and beauty to our day, and we are endlessly grateful.”
