Blooms on the Hill

Genuine, real dahlia-focused flower farm at 485 Prosper Valley Rd, Budgeree (Central Gippsland, ~15 min east of Boolarra), run by owner/florist Amber Rhodes on a 175-acre property. Confirmed via direct fetch of the farm's own website (home, about, contact, flowers, current-events, and 'who is' pages, all successfully retrieved this session) plus an independent Latrobe City Council business-profile article (published 8 April 2024) that directly quotes Amber: 'We also offer days of when people can come visit the farm, let loose in the paddock, and cut as many flowers as they like!' — a genuine hands-on pick-your-own model, not just a farm-gate stall. The farm also runs 'bouquet bar' days per the website/search snippets. Contact details (phone 0410 517 404, address 485 Prosper Valley Rd Budgeree VIC 3870) are consistent between the farm's own contact page and its public Facebook business listing (~740 likes, active engagement), which supports currency. Not a duplicate of any existing listing — no other Gippsland-region flower farm or Budgeree-suburb entry exists in the current list (nearest existing Gippsland entries, e.g. Waterwheel Orchards in Boolarra South, are unrelated orchard businesses). Caveat / why status is 'unconfirmed' rather than 'active': no specific current-season dates, fixed hours, admission/cutting price, or booking requirement for the pick-your-own/bouquet-bar days could be found in any source — these appear to be announced ad hoc via the website's 'current events' page and social media rather than published on a fixed recurring schedule, and the one dated event found on the current-events page (a tuber clearance sale, Dec 2/5/7) did not show a year, so currency of that specific listing couldn't be confirmed. Recommend a phone call to Amber (0410 517 404) or checking the live Facebook page immediately before publishing/listing hours, and treating this listing as 'check current pick-your-own dates before visiting.'
