Fill a Bucket with Flowers at Flourish

There’s only a short window each year when you can do this — which makes it all the more special. During flower-picking season, Flourish Urban Flower Farm in Constantia opens its beautiful cutting garden for a handful of pick-your-own days. Wander between beds overflowing with dahlias, cosmos, zinnias and other seasonal blooms, secateurs in hand, choosing your favourites as you go. Fill a bucket with whatever catches your eye and take home an armful of flowers you picked yourself. Because the garden changes throughout the season, no two visits — or bouquets — are ever quite the same.

BEFORE YOU GO
This is a seasonal experience, available only when the garden is in bloom, and pick-your-own sessions take place on selected dates rather than throughout the year. Sessions last approximately 90 minutes and include a bucket for your flowers and secateurs to use while picking. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat and water.

Book well in advance. Spaces are limited and popular dates can fill quickly. Flourish is a private working flower farm, so visits must be pre-booked. Check the website for the current picking season and available dates before making plans.
