My Story

Hello there!

Hi, I’m Venetta, the flower grower and florist behind Where Cornflowers Grow.

My flower journey began with a simple love of flowers and a dream of growing something beautiful. What started as a passion has slowly grown into my own little flower farm in Ōhaupō, in the heart of the Waikato.

Here, I grow and gather beautiful seasonal flowers, creating naturally beautiful arrangements for life's special moments. From flowers for your home and thoughtful gifts to weddings and celebrations, every bouquet is created with care and a love for what I do.

There is something truly special about locally grown flowers. They are seasonal, unique and full of character. I love watching a tiny seed grow into something beautiful, nurturing it through the seasons, and eventually seeing those flowers become part of someone else's special moment.

My style is relaxed, natural and inspired by the garden. I love flowers that look as though they have been freshly gathered from the garden—full of movement, texture and personality.

Thank you for being here and supporting my little flower-growing dream. I hope the flowers I grow and create bring a little bit of beauty and joy into your world.

DIY flowers are a wonderful option if you enjoy being creative and want to add a personal touch to your day. Simple table bud vases are surprisingly easy to create. Using a mix of around five seasonal flowers in each vase, you can achieve a beautiful, relaxed garden-style look. Bouquets, however, do require a more skill, along with time, organisation and a suitable workspace. Before deciding to DIY everything, think about your wedding timeline and whether you would rather spend the day before your wedding arranging flowers or simply relaxing and enjoying the excitement. If you like the best of both worlds, I also offer a hybrid option. I can professionally create your bridal bouquet and other key floral pieces, while you enjoy arranging the simpler flowers with your family and friends which makes a great fun, memorable experience.
