You Pick events

Welcome

This year Funky Foliage Gardens in Te Puke will be hosting You Pick events on Saturday mornings and Friday and Saturday evenings. Grab a friend or a carload and come and experience the joy of picking fresh flowers. No weeding required.

Book a session

Bookings are essential

Bookings are essential as we are weather and flower-production dependent. All You Pick events will be announced on Instagram and Facebook, and booked through this website.

Charge — $2 per stem for as much as you want to pick.

Pink and apricot snapdragons ready for picking

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
  • For younger children, we have rounded snips available, but please ensure children are supervised or strapped in a stroller when on site

This is a working flower farm

Please be aware there are bees on site and uneven ground, so good footwear is required. We encourage you to bring a bucket to transport your flowers home.
