ABOUT THE DAHLIA PATCH
My dream is for you to stroll through thousands of dahlias and flowers, to relax under shaded trees and to enjoy coffee or a picnic.
My passion for Dahlias began in 2012 after moving to our property in Alpine in the Southern Highlands of NSW. I first bought a large red flower to brighten up the gardens, not knowing that this red flower would be the start of a love affair with Dahlias.
I worked for 19 years as a clinical social worker in both hospital and community health settings, largely in the area of women and children’s health and mainly in the area of violence, before moving into senior management for the Department of Health. From here I reinvented myself into the world of accounts and administration for our forklift business. Now after a further 15 years, it is time for me to reinvent myself once again into a world where I can combine the beauty of flowers with my knowledge of mental & physical health.
Discovering flower farming has been a dream come true and I look forward to sharing it with you. There is nothing like seeing the happiness when people receive flowers or when people arrive at the dahlia patch to harvest their own bouquets.
This Flower Farm has been hard work, but it has been great for both the mind and the body. We are now planning for our flower farm to expand over the next couple of years to grow speciality cut flowers in addition to the dahlias. We envisage this farm to become a destination point in the Southern Highlands, whether its for you to attend various workshops or to harvest your own flowers or to just to wander the gardens and picnic in the grounds. To breath in this air and to take a moment to relax and to reflect on where you are.
