Flower picking near Gold Coast
In September, flower picking is in season near Gold Coast. We list 7 farms within about 90 minutes of the city — compare seasons, prices and booking below, then call ahead to confirm what's ripe.
Cut-flower picking near the Gold Coast is dominated by sunflowers, with farms spread across three main clusters. The closest options are in the Logan/Norwell corridor about 45 minutes north-west — Norwell Sunflowers and Ten Chain Farm at Upper Flagstone both sit in this range. Cross the NSW border south into Northern Rivers and Farm & Co at Cudgen is around 30 minutes away, charging $4–$5 per stem to cut your own sunflowers with no booking required.
Admission charges and booking requirements vary considerably between farms. Ten Chain Farm charges an entry fee of around $10–$15 per adult; Farm & Co charges per stem; some farms ask you to book in advance while others don't. Importantly, most flower-picking farms operate seasonally and open only when crops are in bloom — often for just a few weeks at a time. Check each farm's website or social media before making the trip to confirm they're open.
