Welcome to Gina’s Garden, your destination for a delightful pick-your-own flower experience in Brightwater, Nelson Tasman. Immerse yourself in the magic of our flower farm, where you can wander through beautiful blooms and create unforgettable memories. Whether you're looking for a DIY flower experience, a picturesque setting for a party or special occasion, or a simple escape from the busyness of everyday, here’s everything you need to know to make your visit unforgettable.

What to Expect

Pick-Your-Own Flowers: Wander through our vibrant field of flowers, including vibrant dahlias & zinnias in summer, delicate ranunculus, and luscious peonies in spring, along with many other favourites. Enjoy the experience of selecting your own seasonal blooms from our wide range.

Take your time, stroll through our fields, take in the fresh air, and enjoy the beauty of nature as you gather flowers at your own pace. It's a wonderful way to unwind and connect with the outdoors.

What We Provide: We provide clippers, a vessel for picking (choose from three options) and guidance, so you can enjoy the flower picking experience. Gina will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

What to Bring: Comfortable shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and your camera for stunning garden photos!
