My Story
Hello there!
My name is Venetta and I run a micro urban flower farm based in Ohaupo, Waikato.
A few years ago, in 2018 I had a niggling feeling to grow a blue flower, which was the humble cornflower.
With the aid of good soil & some compost, I carefully planted the cornflowers and patiently observed their growth. It eventually blossomed into a magnificent sea of blue flowers. The entire process brought an immense amount of delight and contentment into my life. As a result of this newfound passion, I became obsessed with the idea of growing other varieties of cut flowers. I contemplated the notion of selling these blooms at a nearby small market, which I did. Witnessing the expressions of joy and happiness on people's faces as they saw my flowers only served to reinforce my floral journey.
I have been selling my flowers seasonally at the local farmers markets since 2021, now that I have mastered the growing side of being a flower farmer I am enjoying the creativity of crafting gorgeous blooms with whimsical elements.
