Begin the morning with a guided tour of our vibrant flower farm. Explore the rows of seasonal blooms, see how we nurture a wide variety of flowers, and gain inspiration for your own garden. This behind-the-scenes look gives you insight into the rhythms of a working flower farm and shows that anyone can grow flowers with a little know-how.

Hands-on planting session:

After the tour, you’ll roll up your sleeves and start planting your own seeds. Learn techniques that make a real difference to growth and get personalised tips from our experienced growers. By planting alongside our team, you’ll gain confidence in caring for your seedlings and understand the best practices to follow at home.
