The farm

Commercial growers of flowers & foliage

We operate a flower growing property in Te Puke. This season we are running You Pick events, supplying UFG Flower Auctions, and having flowers available for weddings and events.

Tony and Karen Hooper would love to meet you on site next time you are in Te Puke.

You Pick events

Saturday mornings, Friday and Saturday evenings

This year Funky Foliage Gardens in Te Puke will be hosting You Pick events on Saturday mornings and Friday and Saturday evenings. Bookings are essential as we are weather and flower-production dependent. All You Pick events are announced on Instagram and Facebook, and booked through this website.

What’s included

  • A quick discussion on how and which stems are ready for picking
  • Pick from any row of flowers you wish
  • Picking time 1.5 hours — early morning and late afternoon are the best times for picking flowers
  • Picking bucket and snips provided

$2 per stem

Charge is $2 per stem for as much as you want to pick. The booking reserves your place — you pay for the flowers you take home.

We want you to have the best experience

If the weather does not suit picking, or we have had issues around flower volume, you will be notified two days before the booked event.

Weddings & groups

Pick before the public, or book a group

Public You Pick is Fridays and Saturdays. For weddings and events you can arrange to pick on a Wednesday or Thursday, or we can pick, strip, hold in solution and chill ready for pick-up.
