Family-run boutique flower farm on a family cattle property just outside Tharwa village, ACT (~35 min from Canberra CBD). Confirmed via the farm's own website, an active Facebook page (posted within the last day as of this check, referencing the dahlia season), and independent local coverage (OutInCanberra, HerCanberra) that it runs ticketed 'pick your own' events -- e.g. Sip + Snip Picnic, Date Night: Petals and Picnics -- where guests walk the flower rows and hand-cut dahlias/other blooms to take home, confirming genuine hands-on picking rather than a farm-gate stall. Access is event-based and ticketed (not open daily), and at least one past event (Date Night) was explicitly run as a child-free/adults event, so kid-friendliness varies by event. The site's live events page currently displays a 6 March 2026 event that may have already passed by the time this record is read -- treat exact upcoming dates/prices as needing a fresh check before publishing to visitors. Not a duplicate of any existing region listings (Tanbella Orchard, Pialligo Apples, Pialligo Harvest, Majura Valley Farm, Christmas Tree Keng are unrelated businesses/crops).
