Riverbend Flora
Riverbend is a small 4th generation Dairy farm situated on the Taieri Plains, New Zealand. The property has been loved by many over the years. My Grandma loved flowers and I treasure the memories of walking around the garden with her learning and admiring many of her special plants. In 2014 we moved to Riverbend where this journey truly began.
After being inspired by several speciality small scale flower farms and the slow flower movement in 2019, I decided to take my love of gardening and flowers further and with the help of a very supportive and handy husband we converted a small calf paddock to a field of flowers.
Along the journey I found a new passion, designing with flowers. The beauty of garden grown flowers is something completely different and I feel very passionate about showcasing these special blooms
Grown mostly from seed and in the field certainly has its challenges but it enables the flowers to be full of life and character. My focus is on growing varieties not commonly commercially available. The growing season is typically from late September through to early April and extended with our range of dried flowers.
Riverbend is about sharing and growing beauty in an honest and open way with the hope to inspiring others to celebrate and love flowers
