🔔 New Animals Alert! 🔔

It’s been a while since I posted…but, you can’t beat a good animal post to liven up the feed again.

Meet (l-r) Mavis and Debbie - the very beautiful Mavis is a stunning Black Nose Valais who is on grazing/companion duties with wee Debbie, who is a new Suttondale addition and part Valais herself.

These gals will help graze the flower farm over the winter months while I’m busy prepping for the season.

🖤🤍

🌱 2025/2026 Growing Season 🌻

Phew! 😮‍💨

It has been a total roller coaster 🎢 of a season. Incessant rain and grey skies, cool temps and late blooms - Mother Nature made us work for it this season.

We’ve had plenty of success firsts in amongst the chaos as well - wedding 💒 arrangements, funeral arrangements, Four Square Grab n Go and even charity event blooms!

I cannot THANK YOU all enough for your incredible support and belief in us this season - it really does go without saying - without YOU, we simply cannot exist 🫶💐

And with that horribly wet and grey Easter weekend behind us - I’ve made the call to end our flower season - (kind of).

THE FARMSTAND is now closed for the season for bouquets at the gate.

However, we maybe still be able to assist with Made To Order blooms. We will do our best - but the blooms are now going the signs of autumn shutdown so choice may be limited.

Do not hesitate to reach out if you think we can help.

See you again soon for the 2026/2027 cut flower season!

I wondered why the additional plants supports weren’t cutting it for the scabiosa… 😒🐈

We nipped off to the Methven A&P Show today and couldn’t help but throw ourselves into the ring for a few competitive classes while the other half was busy “working” at their car sales stand.

A successful trip all round with us taking out the Premier Exhibit for our Blyton Softer Gleam Dahlia exhibit and Master Sutton taking out the Children’s Poultry section with his Indian Runner Duck - Hazelnut.

Turns out Guy needs to find a hobby and be quite good at it so he can join Harv and I in the winners circle 😉

What an ABSOLUTE pleasure to provide ingredients for the floral arrangements at the Charity Ball this past weekend.

Meeting other wonderful local growers and florists to team up together to build these stunning floral masterpieces - for a phenomenal charity - magnificent 🤌🏼

Thank you for asking us to be a part of this wonderful event 💜🧡🩷

Tonight was for creepin’…👀

Creeping around The Farmstand at 9.15pm at night, loading the shelves with blooms for Saturday.

A busy morning dropping off blooms for the Charity Ball and side kicking for the incredible Sarah - because realistically, I know my place when talent like that is working their magic! 🤌🏼

I’ll be back at helping finalise Ball Blooms tomorrow - so tonight was for bundling this arvo’s pick, and risking becoming the Smithfield Creeper to make sure weekend blooms are on! 😅

Swing by for blooms 💐 They’ll be available early 😉

‼️The Farmstand is now CLOSED on Monday’s & Tuesday’s‼️

With the weather starting to cool off - more 😒….the flowers are starting to slow.

Blooms will be available Wednesday through Sunday - but, the rest of the season will be fleeting. So make the most of the fresh blooms while they’re here!
