Fresh blooms are available to pick up on farm, from farmers markets and local delivery.

“This is my third season doing Blooms on the Hill, which started in 2020,” Amber said.

Amber started Blooms on the Hill after being inspired by a Pinterest photo online full of buckets of dahlias.

“I then started growing my own dahlias on our farm, there were so many blooming that I just started making bouquets,” Amber said.

Blooms on the Hill also run workshops around cut flower gardening, growing, harvesting and arranging dahlias – workshops creating bouquets.

“We also offer days of when people can come visit the farm, let loose in the paddock, and cut as many flowers are they like!”
