Call farmGet directionsVisit website

Real, family-run flower farm on a 10-acre property atop Mount Gisborne, established 1996, run by growers Anna & Ray. Genuinely offers hands-on Pick Your Own Dahlias: visitors wander the dahlia fields and handpick their own bucket of blooms; tools/scissors are supplied. Chemical-free/sustainable growing practices. Sessions are pre-booked and dated (not open-ended daily access) — one 2026 session found was a Saturday 10:00am–11:30am slot advertised as the tail end of the dahlia season. Not a duplicate of any existing listing; no other Gisborne/Macedon Ranges flower farm appears on the current site. Geographically it sits in the Melbourne outer-fringe Macedon Ranges corridor (Gisborne/Woodend/Riddells Creek), which none of the 35 existing regions cover — recommend a new 'Macedon Ranges' region rather than folding it into Bendigo & Central Victoria or Grampians & Ballarat. Toilets, dogs, kid-friendliness and on-site cafe were not stated in any source and are left null rather than assumed. WebFetch on the underlying pages was unavailable in this session; findings are corroborated via multiple independent web-search extracts of 302flowers.com and visitmacedonranges.com content, so field-level confidence is good but a direct fetch re-check before publishing is advisable if precision on exact season dates matters.
