Join us in celebrating the fifth year of our nationwide 3-day open flower farm festival. Visit your local flower farm, enjoy the blooms, meet the growers, pick up tips and find out more about local, seasonal UK-grown cut flowers and our growing movement.
Whether you’ve seen Flowers from the Farm this year on BBC Countryfile, at RHS shows or admired our blooms at this year’s coronation, nothing beats a visit to a local grower. Every flower farm is independent and differs in how, what and where they grow. The Flower Farmers’ Big Weekend is a chance to explore plots of all shapes and sizes and to pick up tips from growers who are changing the face of cut flower growing in the UK.
We value the changing of the seasons and the characterful beauty of every stem. You’ll see late summer favourites ranging from phlox, michaelmas daisies, lilies, coneflowers, rudbeckia, larkspur and red hot pokers to chrysanthemums and of course, dahlias.
Dahlia mania will be in full swing in September with rows of dramatic, show-stopping blooms from small pompom dahlias to dinnerplate-sized decorative varieties in a spectacular range of colours from white and blush to the deepest, darkest purples and reds.
There’s a fabulous mix of events this year from guided plot tours and floristry workshops to Pick Your Own flower sessions, the chance to wander through the flowers or to take in the view over tea and cake. Check out the event listings and take your pick! Please note that advance booking may be required and there may be a charge for events.
