From Avocados to Armfuls of Flowers

This little patch of land has already lived one life.

Once upon a time, it was an avocado production block. Then came the slightly crazy idea: what if we pulled the trees out and grew flowers instead?

So that’s what we did.

There was digging. Lots of digging. Clearing, planting, watering, waiting, wondering whether we knew what we were doing — and plenty of learning along the way. Then, almost before we knew it, the bare ground began to change.

Within a few short months, we were walking through rows of flowers and picking our first blooms for market. We even discovered the surprisingly useful skill of fitting an astonishing number of flowers into a very small box!

But one of the nicest surprises of our first season wasn’t just growing the flowers. It was meeting the people who enjoyed them.

That got us thinking.

Flowers are lovely to take home, but there’s something pretty special about being among them too. So this season, instead of us having all the fun, we’re opening the gates and inviting you in.

Our You Pick Flower Farm is about getting outdoors, wandering through the flowers, choosing the ones that catch your eye, and enjoying a little time away from the rush of everyday life. Bring the kids, your partner, your friends, your mum — or simply come and enjoy the garden yourself.

You’ll leave with an armful of flowers you picked with your own hands.

A few months of growing for us. A beautiful day out for you. And probably a few flowers you weren’t planning on picking until you saw them.
