A small seasonal flower farm on a former coastal sheep paddock, just outside Greymouth. The website says the flowers are grown outdoors, cut at the right stage, and arranged the same day, with a focus on regenerative farming, and that the field is home to bees and butterflies. Through the year the field grows heat-loving zinnias and marigolds in summer, dahlias, heritage chrysanthemums and grasses in autumn, and tulips and ranunculus in spring.
Flowers can be ordered as bunches, event florals, bespoke arrangements and flower subscriptions. A roadside flower shed at 456 Main South Road in Paroa is stocked with small mixed bouquets most weekends during the growing season, and the website says these often sell out, so the Instagram stories are the place to check. Workshops for adults cover wreath making, botanical drawing, painting and flower arranging. The owner, Phoebe, is also a registered marriage celebrant, a painter and a muralist. Customers say the bunches are whimsical, vibrant and alive, and that flowers grown locally are a welcome change. Our pick in Paroa for seasonal, locally grown bunches.
