Flour + Bloom is a small flower farm run from a home garden in Rangiwahia, Manawatū. The owner grows the flowers by hand, from seed to bloom, and sells bundles and bouquets. Wedding florals and special-occasion flowers are taken on by enquiry, and the business delivers Waikato-wide.
During the season, which runs from late spring to early autumn, the garden holds Pick Your Own sessions on selected days, with bookings essential. Visitors are given a bucket and snips and walk through the rows of roses, sweet peas and dahlias to fill it. Cakes and a drink are available to sip while walking. The business advises bringing garden gloves, because some of the roses are prickly. Price depends on the size of the bundle.
