Regenerative micro flower farm in Silvan (Yarra Valley) running seasonal Pick Your Own Flowers sessions, typically Feb-March. Visitors book online, choose bucket size (medium vase $50 / large bucket $100), get snips and a brief farm tour of a bee-friendly patch, then harvest blooms (dahlias, roses, cosmos, zinnia, statice and other annuals). Sessions described on the farm's own site as family-friendly, small-group, ~1.5 hrs, booking required (limited places; some 2026 dates already sold out at time of check). No phone number published; exact venue address/parking sent by email after booking. Distinct operation from all berry/cherry/orchard farms already listed for this region - no duplicate concern.
