Flower Season
The flower farm currently opens on Saturday mornings during the flower season. The flower season normally starts in August and finishes in April of each year. This may vary by a month as everything is dependent on the weather and when the first flowers will start showing.
The best time to visit us at the Farm to pick cut flowers is early morning or late evening when temperatures are cool and the flowers are well-hydrated. This helps prevent wilting and extends the vase life of the flowers.
We are currently closed for the flower season!
Operating times
We normally open on a Saturday and Sunday during the flower season … weather permitting. Generally, we are open as follows:
Saturday from 09h30 – 15h00 | Sunday from 11h30 – 15h00
Any changes to the above times for specific weekends will be updated on the website, Facebook and Instagram posts for the weekend. As the farm continues to grow and we are able to do further development on the farm, we will then extend these hours.
Visit us at the farm which is open to the general public. Walk-ins are welcome. Pre-booking is optional. If you are coming as a group, please reach out through the General Enquiry form so that we can ensure we have enough equipment on site for your farm visit.
What to bring with
We are a working farm operating a field to vase cut flower farm. We therefore encourage you to wear appropriate shoes when visiting the farm, especially after it has rained. We encourage you to bring a bucket or vase with you so that you can take your flowers home. We will have buckets for sale on site at a nominal cost, which you can transport your flowers in, and use again the next time you visit the farm.
We do have buckets and garden scissors on site which we will provide so that you can cut the flowers for your flower bouquet.

Dogs on the farm
Please note that only trained assistance dogs are permitted to visit the cut flower farm, when supporting a disabled handler.
As a cut flower farm, we hold a growing collection of cut flower plants, some of which have been hard to source and take months before they start producing the flowers, and our beds are cared for by hand.
We are unable to permit entry to any other animal, whether carried or on a lead (including therapy animals).
Toilets
Visitor toilets are located on the other side of the parking lot at the restaurant.
Photography
We love photographers coming on site and sharing their talent with us. All we ask, is that you clear it with us before you start taking photos. The use of drones is not permitted. If you have any questions, please email us.
Should you want to share your photos with us, we would be glad to tag you on all our social media platforms and website.
