Pick Your Own Flowers at Lower Norton Flower farm
There is something quietly special about walking into a flower field with a bucket and a pair of snips in hand.
Our pick-your-own sessions invite you to spend time amongst the flowers themselves — wandering our Pick Your Own Garden, choosing the stems that catch your eye and gathering a bucket of seasonal blooms to take home.
Set within the Hampshire countryside on our family farm, the Pick Your Own Garden sits amongst the wider flower farm where we grow flowers for our wedding and floristry work. Planted in a relaxed, garden-style layout, with mown paths and generous borders filled with flowers grown for colour, scent and movement, it has been designed especially for visitors to enjoy cutting their own flowers. Throughout the season the field changes week by week, offering something new each time you visit.
This is not a rushed experience. It’s a chance to slow down, enjoy the surroundings and reconnect with the simple pleasure of flowers grown close to home.
“You captured our vision perfectly. The flowers felt natural, romantic, and full of life - we couldnt have been happier”

What to expect
Each session begins with a short introduction from one of our team, who will guide you through the garden, explain what is looking its best that week and share a few simple tips on how to cut and condition your flowers so they last beautifully at home.
You will then have time to wander through the garden and fill your bucket with your favourite stems.
Some people are drawn to the soft cottage-garden flowers, others to airy grasses or vibrant seasonal colour — part of the pleasure is simply choosing what catches your eye.
All buckets and snips are provided, and you will leave with a generous selection of freshly cut flowers ready to arrange at home.
Keeping the Experience Special
To keep the garden calm and enjoyable for everyone to visit, numbers are limited and visits are by booking only.
This allows everyone time and space to enjoy the experience without the field feeling crowded.
Why People Love Visiting the Flower Field
A visit to the flower field is about more than simply taking flowers home.
For many people it becomes a small moment of calm in a busy week — time spent outdoors, surrounded by colour, scent and the gentle rhythm of the farm.
Guests often tell us they love:
• wandering through rows of seasonal flowers with no rush
• choosing stems they might never normally buy
• learning a little about how flowers are grown
• the peaceful atmosphere of the field
• finishing their visit with tea and cake beside the Potting Shed
And of course, leaving with a bucket of flowers they gathered themselves.
A flower farm experience
Our flowers are grown here on the farm using seasonal methods that work in harmony with the land and the rhythm of the year.
Many of the varieties you will find in the field are the same flowers we grow for our wedding work and floristry — chosen for their character, scent and natural beauty rather than uniformity.
Because the flowers are grown outdoors, what is available will always reflect the season. No two visits to the flower field are ever quite the same.
tea & Cake at the potting shed
After your time in the Pick Your Own Garden, you are very welcome to settle into the garden beside the Potting Shed.
We offer simple refreshments — tea, coffee and delicious cake — which you can enjoy either in the garden by the Potting Shed or back out amongst the flowers while catching up with friends.
Many guests choose to linger a little longer, soaking up the atmosphere of the farm before heading home with their bucket of flowers.
Cake and flowers — what’s not to like?
