Wedding & Celebration Flower Picking
We’re delighted to offer private flower-picking sessions in our country garden for your special occasion — whether it’s a wedding, celebration, or simply a joyful gathering "just because." These sessions offer a beautiful way to connect, slow down, and gather seasonal blooms directly from our flower field.
Private Session Details
• Minimum Booking: $330
Includes 6 full buckets of seasonal blooms.
• Extra Buckets: $55 each
Add additional buckets as needed — perfect for fuller arrangements or larger weddings.
If you want a larger group to attend with you, we would ask for a minimum of 8 buckets being purchased.
Booking Information
• Timing: Sessions are held in the cooler parts of the day for flower freshness — typically between 6 AM–11 AM or 4PM–8 PM. Dates are arranged by mutual agreement.
We recommend picking the day before your event.
• Deposit: A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. The balance is due the day before your session.
• Buckets: Please bring your own buckets, or purchase them on-site for $5 each.
Weather Considerations
Please bring wet weather gear if rain is forecast — we’ll have umbrellas available.
Optional Add-On: Tea & Cake in the Garden
Make your experience even more special with catered tea and cake, beautifully styled in the flower field or flower shed.
• $35 per person
• Minimum of 10 guests
Please request this option at the time of booking so we can coordinate with our caterers.
What’s in Bloom?
Expect an ever-changing selection of seasonal flowers. For the 2025/26 season we will have over 100 varieties of dahlias and more than 6o other flower varieties, including:
Dahlias, zinnias, larkspur, Queen Anne’s lace, achillea, snapdragons, mignonette, delphinium, gaura, scabiosa , cosmos, aster, rudbeckia, carnations, amaranthus and more.
Please note that flower availability depends on the season and weather — nature can be a little unpredictable!
Optional Consultation
Want help choosing or styling your flowers?
Book a private consultation for $100, which includes a large bucket of blooms to take home (when in season). Kate can discuss option and styling with you if you just need a little help.

Wedding picking sessions are available from late December through to late April.
