The experience

Arrive empty handed. Leave with flowers and a heart full of joy.

There is something rather wonderful about arriving at the farm empty handed and leaving with flowers you chose and cut yourself and a heart full of joy.

Our private weekday pickings are designed for small groups who want to experience the flower field at a gentler pace. You will be welcomed into the garden, shown what is ready to harvest and guided through the best way to select and cut your flowers.

Because this is a working flower farm, every visit will look different. The flowers available will depend on the season, the weather and what the garden is ready to give us that week.

You may find dahlias, zinnias, sunflowers, celosia, grasses, foliage, fillers and other seasonal surprises waiting in the field.

Nature sets the pace

A real flower field. A different experience every week.

Femme Pétale is a working seasonal flower farm. Your visit will be shaped by what is flowering naturally at the time.

Specific varieties and colours cannot be guaranteed. That is part of the beauty of visiting a real flower field: no two weeks are exactly the same.

Important seasonal note: Pickings remain subject to weather, field conditions and flower availability.

Before you arrive

What to wear

The farm is a working garden, so please dress comfortably for time outdoors.

  • Comfortable closed shoes
  • Clothing suitable for walking in a working garden
  • A hat and sunscreen
  • Something you do not mind getting a little dusty or muddy

Sunscreen is especially recommended on hot summer days.
