- Single ticketed pick-your-own event held once a year in autumn (e.g. Easter weekend in 2025, March long weekend for a subsequent season) — exact dates vary year to year and are announced on the farm's website/Facebook.
- Price
- $89 AUD per person per ticketed time-slot (confirmed 2025 season pricing via archived product page); price is per person for the booked session, not per bucket. Visitors asked to bring their own bucket to take flowers home in (farm provides snips and a bucket to pick into on-site).
- Open
- Not open for general/casual walk-in visits — farm's own Facebook page states 'visits only for pre-booked workshops.' The Pick Your Own Dahlias experience is a single dated ticketed event per year (multiple timed sessions across a weekend, e.g. Sat/Sun), sold as tickets via the farm's own Shopify store. As of this check (July 2026) the PYO product page returns 404, consistent with being off-season/between annual sale windows rather than the business having closed — the rest of the site (shop, blog, homepage) is clearly live and current.
