Pick Your Own Flower Events - Family Activities and Fun
We love to pick your own flower events and Sams Sunflowers on Hayling Island with the golden sunflowers and expanse of blue skies was a perfect afternoon.
We cannot wait to visit more pick your own flower events and open days on flower farms this year. With us, we will take some Flower Wrap and Sticker Kits, to quickly make some bouquets to deliver with delight on the way home from the flower picking. I am already on the lookout for new places to visit, and Garsons Garden Centre is definitely on the list. A good place to start looking for events is Flower From The Farm.
We also like to visit Selborne Lavender fields on their open days. Although this is not a pick your own event it is a lovely day out as there are drinks and you can visit the lavender shop too. You can also take a little picnic and sit on the edge of the fields for a lunchtime rest.

At Sams Sunflowers we played the game of who could find the best-looking sunflowers, the happiest looking sunflower and of course the tallest sunflower with a beautiful face. The aim was to collect these sunflowers for a jug at home, some for nanny and another bunch for grandma.
The highlights of visiting pick your own for us is supporting local farms, having fun together outside, helping the environment by choosing seasonal flowers with no air miles. Seeing friends and the community coming together. There are lots of people smiling with arms filled with sunflowers when the fields are open in July.

It also turns out to be a great place for natural photographs of children in the flowers and these are a few I took at Sam’s Sunflowers Hayling Island and the Lavender Fields in Selborne.
